Living with PTSD (Potentially Triggering Material)

Thanks @Zoe7  In bed now, Holly snoring quietly beside me. 😀🐶

Im warm and snug .. but cant stop the shakes. Those all-over inner-core anxiety-reaction shakes. Do you get that too?

[Zoe7]

I used to @Former-Member and still do sometimes when I have nightmares but not often now - thank goodness.

I will stay with you until you disappear for the evening (hopefully sleep).

Tobes is curled up on the doona on the couch - he has just messed up his bed on the floor again - scratching at it and rolling over on it - sooooo cute when he does that. Does Holly do the same or something similar?

[Former-Member]

Yes @Zoe7 she sure does. 🐶

[Zoe7]

haha they are the cutest hey @Former-Member Tobes also plays with his toys up and down the halway - he throws them to himself and chases them. Occasionally he slides on the floorboards and hits the front door. I just laugh because he turns and runs again as if nothing happened. He also does mad runs around the dining table and loungeroom - both areas are pretty much one large room.

[Former-Member]

Yeah, they sure are special @Zoe7  🐶💖

I dont want you to stay up for me Zoe. Its after 1am already. Besides .. In desperation I have 'borrowed' a couple of hubbys sleeping pills. Hoping they kick in soon.

Good night .. and thanks heaps. 😴

I have been asleep for more of the day than I have been up @Former-Member so not yet ready to sleep again just yet. ...so not keeping me up Hon.

I hope the sleeping tablets help you get some rest - your body and mind need it Hon. Goodnight sweet Sherry - sending you and Holly some massive hugs

Thanks so much for last night @Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope @Sans911 @outlander @Appleblossom 🤗🌺

I got about 2 hours sleep in the end.  Better than nothing. Although the violent internal shaking finally subsided a little last night ... its back again today.  I dont know how to make things right.

Today is really hard ... in so many respects.  Your support means the world.  Thank you.

Note for self ... yet to respond to Page 178 responses from @Owlunar @Former-Member @BlueBay @Shaz51 🌸

Sorry ... I will get back to you.  I am trying to respond in order .. but keep being overtaken with new crises along the way.  Stuff thats getting in the way, putting my head space in turmoil. Its all getting on top of me right now. I'm trying very hard. I dont know when .. but I will try to get back to  you soon. Words are difficult right now, and thought processes even more so. 😵

For you @Former-Member ...... 💜💐

[Former-Member]

My sweet there is no need to explain or even get back to me. I understand completely and feel bad that my head space as allowed me to only support a couple of my friends here. I wish I had been able to be there for you last night. 

I hope today doesn't get you down too much. I hate the internal shakes they absolutely suck and I haven't found a way to calm mine yet either. Be kind, be gentle with yourself Sherry. 💐❤️

Hi @Former-Member  sending you my warm wishes and strongest hugs xx.  I wasn't around last night (maybe just as well) but would definitely have gone in to bat for you if I had been.  Take care lovely - there are lots of people here who care about you and value your presence on the forums.
