What is Something Good You Did Today?

[anthony]

I think this thread is making me realise just how much good all are getting from this forum. Seeing people progress past current fears in leaps and bounds is really a wonderful thing for me, because all I want is to see people help themselves to live some sort of semi-normal life once again, opposed to being locked in their houses afraid of life itself.

Congratulations to all who are really helping themselves through PTSD. Well done....

You are kicking ass batgirl, way to go!

My cut was supposed to be .5mg but it ended up being a whole mg. I am not near as bad off as I thought I would be and maintaining. I am still getting a bit annoyed and stressed, who wouldn't? But temper in check, and I am only one 1 mg xanax for a few days now! Very proud of myself and pride is not always something that exactly comes to me.

Plan is to go ahead, since this cut was not as bad as I thought it would be, after my doc visit in a couple days, Wednsday, to fire that shrink too is to stop the rest of the way. It will be Thursday on Thanksgiving. I will be alone and hubs is setting up ultra easy meals for me and paper plates and the like since I know I won't be doing dishes. But I know I will be giving thanks for finding this place and being finally drug free (let us just leave me alone about my cigareetes for now LOL) 100 mg zoloft is gone and 9 out of 10 mg pf xanax gone. Come Thanksgiving day I will be clear of drugs :) Not bad all in all, the piss and moaning part I will put in the daily LOL...

Congratulations veiled... your obviously finding that your ready to remove the drugs, and your doing it so well. Well done. I know what you mean about the ciggs... they are my reliever also. I smoke about 15 per day, which is half what I used too even when medicated. As I continuously improve, I will eventually cut smoking also.

I mudded the stairwell wall. It was a pain in the ass. I for sure will go to hell for swearing so much at mud! Tomorrow, I sand, prime, then paint, and probably, paint again!

For the first time since my symptoms started, I went to the grocery store by myself. Every time I've gone, I've wrangled either one of the kids or my hubby to go with me. But today I wanted to try it on my own. By the time I got to the checkout, my legs were shaking...but I did it!!!! :loopy:

 

[anthony]

Anything bad happen to you Marlene? No... exactly. Now say this to yourself over and over again, until your brain learns that you can go to the shop by yourself, and there is nothing to fear by doing so. Well done Marlene... really well done. Excellent work.

I cleaned house today... I had to do something with a toddler having huge fits. I wanted to strangle him... I want to strangle my wife at the moment to... house driving me nuts... so I cleaned.

The best part of this was when I got home and my hubby met met at the door with a big smile and hug and told me, 'You did it! I knew you could.' Who would have thought a little bit of normalcy would feel so nice?

BTW Anthony-if you still have an overwhelming urge to clean house, just give me a holler. I've got plenty! :biggrin:
