I got through today, talked on the phone to a friend I've been avoiding for ages, promised to make a cake for a raffle on Thurs (Goddamit, WHY did I promise that?) and hopefully made my son's life a bit brighter, pre-exams-starting-tomorrow, by calling him.

An iffy day, but there are positives in there.

I made a phone call to a potential new therapist/counsellor who might actually be able to offer some practical help to move me on. *feels very proud*

Because I had everything ready to si and I made myself put it away and do the half hour gap to see how i felt and if I could get through it, that was 2 hours ago and so far so good....

i am proud of myself for choosing not to "go against my will"
to my parents house this year. we are going for xmas day,
but not staying for the week. had i not made this decision,
right now i'd be having panic attacks, my ptsd would be
triggered, and i'd be feeling victimized, even though i
chose to go, but instead i feel excited about seattle.

:D :D :D

I'm going to go out shopping this afternoon even though I am so scared to do so and am having so much anxiety and panic, and I'd rather cancel and hide in bed, but I'm going to push myself..

^hope you made it seashellz!^

i am proud of myself for yesterday/tuesday becasue i held onto my temper for so long. i've never held on to it for more than half an hour, but i managed to not lose it for more tahn 6 hours! and when i did, there was no punching, kicking and screaming. just a few angry words in a clam voice.

might not sound like much, but it is a VERY big thing for me!

because i am going to shower
and then i am going to get the last xmas present i have to get
and i am taking my friend with me
and we can talk.

doing all this seems like climbing a mountain.

but it has to be done.
there is, in the end, the letting go.

I'm proud of myself today because I was scared to go to group therapy and I could have easily stayed home but I pushed myself to go! And it wasn't easy!

I got most of my packing done, and I was procrastinating really bad.
