One Act of Kindness to Myself Today - Part 2

That's lovely Hope

Good for you tryingtokeepmoving! I'm having a lot of trouble even getting out of bed atm so I know of what you speak. Today you managed, and more

I struggle with spending money on myself, but today I went to the hairdressers. The lady who cut my hair was really lovely and put me at ease.

I have a hard time cooking for me and my son due to ptsd.

Through an organisation I now have a volunteer who cooks for us. Twice a week. For just the cost of a meal. He lives two streets away. Today I picked up a lovely meal without having to make it.

I feel slight guilt, but it is also good. This way we eat healthy affordable and tasty food. Rather than takeaway.

That's wonderful, Mathilde! Big kindness to yourself to take advantage of that opportunity. I have a lot of trouble cooking for myself as well, also cptsd-related.

That's awesome to hear, Mathilde. I can understand your feelings of guilt, but I would reassure that - if the volunteer didn't want to do that stuff, they wouldn't be volunteering!

Regards,
Aphotic.

Thanks you both. You are right. It's actually quite cool. He is a great cook too. So I'm very happy with it.

I was absolutely not kind to myself today. I made myself write out all sorts of trauma stuff. But I did kick myself off the laptop. And just made a nice hot cup of soothing herbal tea. Does that count?

I relaxed a long while. I demand of myself that I recover. Immediate. When my pulmonary embolism of this Christmas makes me very tired still. I took a lot of rest today

[Mathilde]

I was scared. Yet managed to get up and do normal peoples stuff.
