#2014reflection

[ptsdconfessions]

I started seeing a new therapist who helped me realize I was in an enmeshed relationship with my mother. I started going to an acupuncturist who also works with energy. I graduated from college & had a senior violin recital. I began to cook for myself as a form of self-care. I started learning who I am. I accepted that I have no logical reason to feel guilty. I learned my emotional and mental limits. Possibly the most gratifying: I had instances wherein I felt unapologetically angry.

That's all so wonderful! xx

I got back into university this year after fighting with my PTSD and an abusive situation to get back for two years. I'm getting counseling at school and I'm starting to do a lot better. I've been truly happy, in 2012 and 2013 I couldn't say I'd been happy a single day, but in the last few months of this year I've been happy several days a week. My lows aren't as low anymore. I think that despite the darker parts of this year it's been a good one.

That's great! xx

This year I let go of the toxic people in my life and started loving myself for myself.

After years of suffering I have decided to apply for a ptsd service dog and am now in the application process can't wait to try something new that may make a big difference to my quality of life😊

Awesome!

In 2014 I finally gathered the courage to reach out to psychological services at my university. Now I'm seeing a trauma specialist for EMDR therapy. The results haven't been much yet but I know these things take time. I just wish it would go faster.

Yeah I know it's tough that recovery takes time, but stick with it!

This year I got diagnosed after 2 years of suffering, and I'm finally on the road to recovery and feeling better :) I feel like this year I was able to feel happy for the first time since 2012

That's so awesome!!

I'm going to stop answering the 2014 reflection asks just for now because there are just so many of them (I think there's been about 70 so far!). I will keep answering them later though, okay?
