You Know You Have PTSD When...

[ladee]

When you have really dedicated time and attention to daily meditation.. start to feel more relaxed, breathe normal, then have a 10 minute conversation with your son, relaxed, guard down, and BOOM, right back to square one and spend the day sleeping.

When you are so touch deprived, you wait by the dumpster to hug the garbage man and tell him what an awesome job he is doing.

When.... f*ckit, so now I'm worried if trees are hurt if I touch them? :banghead:

Naaah @Cashew... they take your loving energy, what you have to spare, and it helps them to thrive. A lot like I do. Sorry for taking some of your energy... I just need a boost right now.... thanks in advance.

When you go to see new doctor for physical things - you tell him you also see a psychiatrist there (reason why you went there for new doc - one single place, and new p-doc was good.) Wants to know diagnosis. Honest. After you pay front desk - person gives you "post it note" with psychiatrist personal number to make appointment (uh...I already have it.) He makes his own appointments directly.

I wanted to laugh, because I "text" him for an appointment, or for refills.

I must be really messed-up....

When messing up a cake makes you doubt your whole personality.

When climbing on a very steep cliff is the only thing to calm down your mind.

Weird how that works. Me it's being in ocean or sea. Or running (but I ran too much causing injuries.) In college I'd hike cliffs. Then after college sometimes drive 3 hours to get high into mountains. I felt so calm there hiking around. Maybe had something to do with all the waterfalls. Also, been in a town in mountain forest that rested in the clouds.

I read somewhere high altitudes make you more depressed, but I also think they can calm you. Which would make sense.

I don't quite comprehend that. High altitudes = insta calm and insta cheer up :D

It's funny how we're different. Thanks for the reminder, @Ocean5 :tup:

@Cashew ...vantage point and surveillance is calming to some whom monitor

@Ocean5 @Cashew @Recovery4Me

It's relaxing for me because I have to focus on climbing to get uphill or downhill. There's no space for distractions or stress - just climbing. ...so my mind becomes calmer. :cool:

 

[Recovery4Me]

@Anrish I see...meditation of prescensing. I was in error.:notworthy:

Native roots...lol. I can hear all sounds at the top of my mountains and see the movement of the undergrowth and bush. I often went there before my ear balance concern...to feel safe. Scouting techniques.

However my mountains seem like hills next to the ones you climb! Next time I go, I will take a pixs.

@Recovery4Me : It wasn't a mountain this time. Just a climbing route in an old stone pit. :laugh: ...the "real" mountains have to wait until August. :p
