Complex Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Looks like we made it another week!
And however you got through;
You got through.
And that's what matters most.
Do you want to take a moment and reflect on a win from your week?
It can be anything, you feel like is a win to you - something big, something small, something in between.
You're more than welcome to share with us in the comments to give yourself a well deserved high five, spread good vibes, and inspire others.
I'll get us started with the sharing.
And lastly: I wish you the best possible weekend you can have.

"Whatever happened or did not happen, you did not waste this year".
I really needed to read that.
People around me believe that my mental health issues has resulted in me "wasting my life".
Harsh opinion.
Harsh words.
And I'm afraid I've internalized them.
But I don't wish to feel like, I'm wasting my life!
I may not be as "productive" or "successful" as normal/healthy people...
But that is NOT the same as I am wasting my time or life.
I am in fact doing important things for my mental health and for my future.
And I accomplish things each and every day.
Just based on a different standard than the one normal/healthy people use.
As I do my end of year inventory in my journals, I want to highlight for myself that, I've been a success.
I did good!
And I did my very best.
That's the note I want to round of 2024 on.

You may know by know that Glimmers are the opposite of triggers.
Meaning they spark positive feelings and calm your nervous system.
They can be small micro-moments were you feel joy, coziness, safety, gratitude, warmt, peace, relaxation or any other positive, calming emotion.
They have true power and they can benefit your mental health and nervous system.
Today I invite you to reflect on a glimmer you've experienced.
And to share with us in the comments to spread glimmers and inspire others.
I'll get us started with the sharing.

My mental health issues don't magically dissappear because it's Christmas.
Some even get worse...
But since I am a seeker of Gratitude and Glimmers, I do get to experience more good, cozy moments.
Most of them, I create for myself.
And I am very thankful for the ability to do that.
I find that I can help and care for myself by creating small, cozy moments for myself and those around me.
Today, I am going to have a cozy time wrapping some presents and by bringing a patch of homemade Christmas cookies to my brother, pregnant sister in law and nephew - I think I'll just leave them by the door as a little gift.
What cozy, self-care moment can you create for yourself today?
It doesn't have to be anything grand - I find the smaller things much more manageable.
And it can be anything that does you some good.
