PTSD and Trauma recovery

Good morning all!

Jet, I think those are great points and ones I think about.

I do go to work every day and get done what I must. I have to be able to take care of myself. Back in my 20's I had a major melt down and was out of work for 6 months and found I was too sick to handle the mental health system. It is easier to go to work every day than to make all the calls and doc appointments to get disability unless you either know how to work the system or have an advocate to do it for you.

I keep some of my vacation back in case I need to take off, but I have had my current job for 12 years.

I have not been as active as I should be, I have a lot of pain with other issues. I have started walking after work and slowing down or stopping for a few minutes if I am in too much pain, then starting again.

Eating right makes a huge difference in how I feet! My system is a wreck when I go near fast food.

Andrew, forgiveness is a hard one, I work on that constantly. I am not even positive I really know what forgiveness means.

Have a great week all! I am working on trying to give myself god thoughts when I start to falter and think negatively.
