Question:
Well … It’s been a long while since I have posted and would like to give a bit of an update. Things here are running at a smooth pace right now … smoother than they have in years (NOT to say that I’m not smacked around by PTSD once in a while .. just not as much) I’m pregnant:D and we are very happy about it. The due date is March 15th. My daughter is very excited about being a ‘big sister’ (probably so she will have someone to boss around lol) I do have some anxiety about having another child .. but I don’t think it’s any more than the average expectant mother. I’m learning that not all of my fears and anxieties are abnormal. It’s a hard lesson for me. For such a long time any time I have experienced fear/anxiety I have attributed it to the PTSD. Many times that would just make me feel worse. Now I’m learning that every-day people experience fear/anxiety and it’s OK for me to have those feelings too. I still have flash backs at times (realizing that those ARE from the PTSD) but it seems as though they haven’t had the same intensity that they have had for me in the past. I’m still working in therapy and it seems that right now we are actually able to get something done. For such a long time the PTSD symptoms have been so bad that I would immediately flash back or panic and would get stuck. Anyway … I have missed posting and the ppl here … Be well, ~Kat *****Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again. *****
