Recovery Journals / Re: Ran's journey
Last post by Ran - Today at 12:46:08 AMI actually only just know realized that a lot of the conflicts came from focusing on hypothetical harm and me worrying about what could hurt someone pontentially, instead of staying grounded in the actual conversations happening in front of me.
I guess I was overly prioritizing potential harm because the past taught me that pain arrives out of nowhere and I'm the one who
has to prevent it.
I guess it was hypervigilant state in action and of course I had no way of seeing the truth, because trauma just blurred everything.
I think this realisation will help me move forward.

Thank you.
I actually do know about the book. There is a pdf version available online and I'm reading it, though I haven't got very far. I can relate to stuff as well.I heard about the book a long time ago, before I even knew about my cptsd and thought it's intresting, but never got around to reading it. It does seem like a mandatory book for us.

Last post by Chart - December 03, 2025, 05:44:46 PMRan, someone recently wrote about Bessel Van der Kolk's "The Body Keeps the Score" here on the Forum. You might want to look into the book if you haven't heard of it. I'll try to find the link here on the Forum.
Glad to hear about your disability requirements being fulfilled.

Last post by Ran - December 03, 2025, 02:58:57 PMGot new information. Seems me helping family members with disabilities could count towards disability support activity requirements and I wouldn't have to worry about working or studying or attending job office and my financial support would continue. It would take immense pressure off my shoulders and I can still do my work in graphic design field and use this time to heal more withouth extra worry.
I ended not telling about the cptsd stuff to GP. I think I got scared a bit, but I still can tell my psychiatrist.
My gp wrote me medication for my heart as I get palpitations and had high blood plessure.
I think a lot of the symptoms especially inflammation that do not go away with antibiotics and high sensitivity to medications could be due to cptsd as well. I did read some stuff about it online.

Last post by Blueberry - December 03, 2025, 02:55:19 PMFinally come to join you on the porch, san and everybody. I'm curled in a chair covered in warm wool blankets watching the fire and dozing off. It feels easier to sit and do nothing but here on the Porch than at home.

Last post by sanmagic7 - December 03, 2025, 12:42:58 PMTBB, thank you for joining me. so glad you found this place. there is a big porch off the big house that faces the beach and water, w/ chairs and blankets, a fire on the beach, waves lapping. there's this cabin, a veggie garden for those who like to putter there, a tree house - whatever you want. this cabin is in the woods on a lake for fishing, and it really is magic. i slept in my rocker last nite - it felt safer than my bed. glad you find this place comforting.
chart, i love that you love to do that stuff! there's always plenty to do (or not), so have at it! thanks for being here. love it.
i'm very shaky this morning, so will be staying here for a bit. i just can't believe this happened.
