I have that on my fridge as a reminder. But when I'm in a PTSD mental state I have a hard time feeling it. But I'm getting over it now. I haven't slept in two nights so I'm beat. I feel like I'm feeling sorry for myself and I guess I am. There are always people who have it worse. Nov 23 11 06:39 am Link Tim Little Photography wrote: you are Nov 23 11 06:59 am Link Yes mam!

Nov 24 11 04:22 pm Link if we work hard, and do what our therapists tell us, it'll be alright. I work a support group too. This is the Promises and sometimes they keep me going because on the good days I can see them happening in my life, and on bad days, I remember the good days. I keep them on my fridge 1.We will become mature, responsible individuals with a great capacity for joy, fulfillment, and wonder. Though we may never be perfect, continued spiritual progress will reveal to us our enormous potential. 2.We will discover that we are both, worthy of love and loving. We will love others without losing ourselves, and will learn to accept love in return. 3.Our sight, once clouded and confused, will clear and we will be able to perceive reality and recognize truth 4.Courage and fellowship will replace fear. We will be able to risk failure to develop new hidden talents. 5.Our lives, no matter how battered and degraded, will yield hope to share with others. 6.We will begin to feel and will come to know the vastness of our emotions, but will not be slaves to them. 7.Our secrets will no longer bind us in shame. 8.As we gain the ability to forgive our families, the world, and ourselves our choices will expand. 9.With dignity we will stand for ourselves, but not against our fellows. 10.Serenity and peace will have meaning for us, as we allow our lives and the lives of those we love to flow day by day with God’s ease, balance, and grace. 11.No longer terrified, we will discover we are free to delight in life’s paradox, mystery, and awe. 12.We will laugh more. 13.Fear will be replaced by faith, and gratitude will come naturally as we realize that our Higher Power is doing for us what we cannot do for ourselves Nov 25 11 04:05 am Link thanks for posting this. i suffer from PTSD and almost successfully killed myself last summer when my PTSD came surging back full-force. this is important stuff, and anyone who suggests it doesn't belong on this forum is heartless. this information belongs everywhere, you never know who might need it and when.

Through your experiences you can help others to face their problems. Nov 25 11 09:00 am Link Happy Saturday everyone! Nov 26 11 04:48 am Link Happy Sunday everyone! Nov 27 11 07:19 am Link Wow. Have not felt so low in years. The dreaded reds are here with me today and I am finding it hard to breathe properly. I know what has triggered it off, so I feel really angry with myself for getting in that situation.

I am trying not to beat myself up about it, but the vicious circle has started with being angry for feeling down and then getting down because of the anger. Once am in the spriral, it is very difficult to get out. Nov 28 11 05:29 am Link marissa charles wrote: I was a victim of such a spiral. Through therapy I found out most of it was due to something called distorted thinking. Then she provided me with tools to help change that. The following may help you with it. Nov 28 11 07:05 am Link I am posting this on my site, I have a pop group that is down for this cause and I will ask them to post this info as well. Remember the holidays is not happy for everyone, so come off your egos some time and be nice, you never know who you can bless with a simple kind word or two. Nov 28 11 12:56 pm Link Most of my issues are pretty much PTSD related.....Socially shutting down...not being able to aproach any felame I would be interested....getting tormented as badly and what those fuckheads did to me will do this (which is why I will never feel remorse for almost killing the main culprit the day I fought back.. and the sad thing is that especially this time of year...certain events trigger my PTSE(will not discus here as who knows who lurks in here and who can use this against me....as on other forums I have not so well disguised what sets me off and I'm taken advantage of....(funny thing is that because these assholes have taken to this I have deprived them from ever going to the major metal festival in this country because I don't forget who does what...and I publicly humiliated the one fool who thought I was all talk no action)...added to the lonliness of being alone during the hollidays and not wanting any part of my drama laden family and being single.... This is going to be a rough 4 weeks Nov 28 11 01:14 pm Link That's a great idea. I love how you listed the resources on your profile page. I think the holidays are hardest on young adults, the elderly and all those who suffer from negative memories of their childhood holidays. Nov 28 11 01:22 pm Link Just checking in. I haven't been very social lately. I suck like that. But you all know it's not because I don't care. The medication is helping a lot. I'm having an issue I'm not ready to talk about but hopefully soon, and the health is poor, as per usual, but at least I'm able to make a bit more better of it since the meds have been helping. Please don't quote this. Thanks.  Nov 29 11 04:27 am Link Tim Little Photography wrote: Indeed. Nov 29 11 04:29 am Link Jules NYC wrote: I wanna do that one of these days.

New month. new chances for all of us to be happier Dec 01 11 04:19 am Link Welcome to December! Dec 01 11 06:53 am Link oohh I cant stand winter, mainly because of those long time spans when we go for days and days with nothing but cloudy, gloomy skies and no sunshine. It brings me wayyyyyyyy down, then I dont care ifthe temp is only in the single digits, if the sun is out, I HAVE to go stand outside and just soak it up, it kinda reenergizes me. I want to move to the south so bad, at least through the winter months Dec 01 11 07:06 am Link oooh i Love winter it's all cozy. it's ok for me to curl up with a book and read with some hot coco. I put my lights up on monday cheesy cell pic  but i hear you on the sun. I'll go make snow angels just to get as much sun as possible Dec 01 11 09:07 am Link Faith EnFire wrote: Your beautifully decorated home fills me with happy!!

I love watching it snow, I just dont want it to land on the roads or any place I may have to shovel it lol and the cold doesnt bother me all that much, its really just the lack of sunlight that depresses me. Even my friends start to notice the difference in my personality if we have too many days of gray cloudy skies Dec 01 11 12:16 pm Link Scottsworld71 wrote: What you are describing is called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). It is a mood disorder in which people who have normal mental health throughout most of the year experience depressive symptoms in the winter or summer, spring or autumn year after year. In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), SAD is not a unique mood disorder, but is "a specifier of major depression". Dec 01 11 12:27 pm Link Tim Little Photography wrote: wow! Thanks for the info, I never knew this was an actual disorder, it describes me perfectly. Ive gone through this every year for a long long time, I was told it was just " the winter blahs" and would try to explain that it WASNT ... it was something a lot bigger. looks like ive got some investigating to do! THANKS!! Dec 01 11 12:50 pm Link |
