Complex Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

I think so many of those steps we label - and think off - as being "small" are actually very BIG steps.
Maybe we, us mighties, tend to label them as "small" because they might be small achievements for people without mental and/or physical health issues.
But for us mighties they are big achievements.
Like getting out of bed.
Taking a shower.
Venturing out of the house.
Cooking a meal.
Taking our meds.
All BIG steps!!
So I just want to remind you - as a new week begins - you're doing great.
And I wish you the best week you can have.

We all have to remember this.

I will also “turn a light on” for each of us and we can all be a light for each other.

I can also switch on my my battery-operated, flameless, safe for my 2 kitties, candle for you.

Hi everyone:)
We made it another week - yay!
However you got through;
You got through.
And that's the most important victory.
I invite you to take a moment to reflect on one more win, some gratitude or a glimmer.
You're more than welcome to share with us in the comments.
So we can inspire each other and cheer each other on.
As always;
I'll get us started with the sharing.
And I wish you a good weekend.

Most days I'm not able to do a whole lot.
But I can do a little each day!
And I find pictures like this very comforting.
Because I am able to be consistent with some things most days.
Of course there are exceptions.
Like when I have a bad day.
But I still try to at least show up for myself.
And I just wanted to share this with you.
In case you're not able to do a whole lot - but can do a little.
Those "little" things matter!
They accumulate!
And that's worth remembering.

I find many things "unsafe" or "potentially dangerous" and it really doesn't make sense to me.
Like self-care, being happy, having fun, resting...
I know it has to do with having a morphed and unhealthy relationship to these things.
And I am working on finding out why this is.
Saw this quote on Pinterest.
And it's definitely part of the explanation.
As a child I was taught that my worth was in "doing" and achieving and being productive.
I carried this with me into my teenage years and adulthood.
Always doing.
Never resting or "being".
No wonder I burned out badly...
And that I now need to transform and heal my relationship with self-care, happiness, fun, and resting.
