What Would You Do if You Woke Up Tomorrow Without PTSD?

[Auburngirl]

I'd do all the same things, but I'd enjoy being less careful, not worrying about wearing myself out, or having to be so conscientious about exactly how much I can handle, or when and how much I sleep, etc.

Lucky,
I'm going to borrow your idea and carry it over to the carers forum. I hope you don't mind.

I would stop making excuses for why I don't do the things I know I love to do and just DO them again. I wouldn't be afraid of anything... I'd be like I used to be.
A free spirit full of life and energy and light.

Wow, What a thought :smile:. My life would be so free of thinking out every move and plan. A huge load would be off my back. To just be able to get up in the morning and go! What freedom. No more head games or internal wars. I would feel like I was floating free.

Go get laid. No lie.

I'd move out on my own again, I am currently living with my parents. I would go back to school and complete my PhD. I'd get an outside job, right now I work from home. I'd buy a house for my girlfriend and I. I'd have a child.

Reading my list though, I think everything I mentioned above is stuff I can do eventually. I can do all those things when PTSD is managed. I just need to work hard and face my traumas.

Being well again

I would sleep in my bed not on the sofa.

I would sleep in the dark, and not with tv on constantly.

I wouldnt take medication to sleep.

I would sleep, without nightmares.

I would be social and not avoid social contact.

I would not be so fearful.

I would not have flashbacks or have triggers that send me into panic.

I would be able to have a norm life, and not avoid life that is out there for me.

I would forgive myself, and finally be able to take a deep breath.
