General What Have You Done For You Today, As A Supporter.

[amethist]

This might not be for myself, but I am enjoying it at the moment.

I am using all the bits of odd wool up to knit dolls clothes for my granddaughter. :tup:

Read mostly. I have a list of other things I'd like to do....

Singing, dancing, reading, most recently, I go to an exercise (aquatics) class twice a week with my mom - the teacher is a lovely lady who works us out hard! A good time is had by all!

I plant and tend flowers, plants, bushes and trees in the yard. I sew, read, and sometimes I just sit and do nothing or even take a nap in the middle of the day.

Tonight I am looking forward to having the next two days to myself. DH is going to Canada to help a friend open up his camper for the season. Since DH is usually home all day, every day, I don't get alone time unless I leave the house. And sometimes, I'd just like to sit on my own porch and breathe.

Reading, coffee and music - preferably all at the same time! Add my cat and a nice comfy blanket, and I'm set!

I'm also still dreaming of having a whole day at the zoo, all by myself. I'm thinking that will happen soon if I can work it out. :)

We all know how hard it can be to get by each day being a supporter, some find it harder than others . Some of us are full time supporters and never get that break away from our sufferers unless we make a point of going out and doing something for ourselves.

So doing something for yourself that does not involve your sufferer is important for your own sanity.

Today I went to see a friend who makes cakes for a living. I have known her for a long time now and worked with her for quite a few years as well.

We talked about old times and about the cakes she makes, nothing about PTSD after the first 10 minutes.

I really should make a point of going to see her more often, not just when I need some help with a cake I am going to be doing.

Actually sat down and read a couple chapters in a book I've been working on for far tio long lol. and will be having an mommy son day at the fair later :) Its actually more of a weekend deal as my fella is ou.t camping with buddies :p. Time for each of us to do our own things is essential(ptsd relationship or not)

 

[amethist]

Today I refused to get dragged into one of my husbands issues.

He would not listen to me in the past about it, so why try and drag me in again. Not working hubby, your issues, you sort it.

 

[BigBear]

I know that the stress is hard on Angel, but I am actively looking for a new job (almost certainly involving a move). The VP over my area is making everyone insane. It's hard to be a good supporter when you can't think straight.

Today is all about baking cookies with a 3 year old and fending off a 33 year old cookie bandit :)
