I was moved this morning in my therapy session, talking about my plans to release my father's ashes up on the moor. My therapist pointed out that it is such a place of freedom and my father never was free in his life. That really got to me.

I've also been moved over the last few days by the support I've been getting on this site, particularly as I struggled with a family issue.

And I was moved to humour earlier at work by a manager who managed to accidentally lock herself in the cash office. The boss was joking that he was in an important meeting and was too busy to let her out:D
 
Yesterday I was moved to pain and regret by the fact that I tripped and fell, hitting my head. I now have a large bump there. It is swollen and hurts. On top of that, I have a pain in my back and neck from the impact. I also dread the money I would have to pay if this backache does not go away, as I would then need a chiropractor.

Today I was moved to annoyance by a friend of mine who keeps cancelling our visit together. Her reasons are valid (death in the family) but it is annoying to make plans around her and then to have to change them again and again.
 
@SheilaKathy I hope you feel better soon. Don't you have insurance for a physical therapist? Don't know how that works in your country... Chiropractors are very expensive around here..

I have money problems since I started working again because they are cutting me down so much that reintegrating into a job is almost impossible. I've been busy with this for weeks and asked help but they said they can't help me and I'm a specific case. I asked someone else and they said the same. So I told my boss and my other boss called me and said that they'll find something to help me and that I should not worry. He said I should promise this. (which is difficult ofcourse). I found it very sweet that he said this! Because I didn't feel supported by the system at all. It's like they're working against me. The money that I get now is very below the minimum everyone has the right too in this country. And I shouldn't because they don't have rules for my specific situation? (because of the ptsd I can't work fulltime and now work 10 hours a week which is very much for me already...) They're solution was working less (two hours a week) or working more (almost fulltime), so reintigrating in a healthy way to heal my ptsd they haven't heard of that obviously, it angers me so much and makes me feel very alone. It triggers my 'nobody cares what happens to me and I'm not good enough' stuff in my head. But at least my boss tries to help now and that makes it a bit better!

And tuesday I had to give gym lessons to elderly people which I find difficult because you can only give standing and walking exercises (they don't want other exercises). They are with around 30 people, it's a bit of a trigger for me... I'm afraid to get rejected or don't do it good enough... I made up these exercises with balloons and was afraid they would hate it. But after the warming up we did this and they really liked it, a lot of people were laughing and you could see their inner child coming up. And they almost didn't stop. That was really nice and I was really happy about that.
 
Day 32

My health is improving from my little bout of flu (?) and that perks me up for my satisfaction of my current 'to do list'. Reminds me how blessed I am in so many ways to have the health that I do. Honest gratitude in the moment.

I was moved emotionally from the love and support flowing across the board & world this morning. People who have their own concerns but grace another with compassion through their time, words or clicks. It is beautiful for me to watch 'love', dreams and hope manifest here.
There are so many people...that carefully attempt to comfort and share.

I am in awe to have found this community. Perhaps it seems I beat the same drum quite often. Perhaps I seem not too creative in my joy. Yet to have joy, to know where to come, who I can talk to...is that not the essence of family or friends?

Thank you @anthony & @Nicolette for offering your care, love & dream for those of us with PTSD. I will not take this gift of this board for granted.
 
O and another one, this woman I met last week sent me a message to ask if I wanted to do something together. I had already thought about that but didn't dare to ask because I only met her once, some people might not like it you ask them to do something together to quickly? So I was pleasantly surprised. :) Yeej
