Can someone help me

Have you eaten something @Pepsimax .... ?

You know now that hunger and thirst is a trigger for you ....

How about warming up a cup of milk to drink and then see how you feel ?

❤️💕

Hello @Faith-and-Hope, @Pepsimax, @Zoe7, @oceangirl

How are you today @Pepsimax xx

Hi @Pepsimax

just dropping to see how you are going

@Pepsimax

Hi Pepsimax. I see you are going through a really tough time right now. I have been too, so thats why your posts have resonated with me I guess.

I know the triggers for my latest PTSD episode. It was the anniversary this week of a particularly traumatic event in my life. Its now 21 years, but its all still just as fresh in my mind as it was on the actual day. And when I get this way, everything becomes a trigger unfortunately. So I totally understand and empathise with what you are going through right now, with the nightmares and flashbacks, high anxiety all day long, sleep deprivation, not wanting to sleep for fear of what you will inevitably experience, etc.

Someone here mentioned the Smiling Mind mindfulness ap. I really recommend you give it a go, if you havent already. I only recently was directed to the site after having heaps of trouble trying to do this thing called mindfulness. My brain just becomes so overloaded with other things that it refuses to let it all go. But I am persevering.

2 weeks ago I started a pilates/yoga class at the gym. Exercise is important and with yoga you do some meditation at the end of the class. I would warn you though that the meditation at the end can bring out a lot of pent up emotions to the surface. It was not something I expected as I had not done yoga before. It was quite embarrassing because I ended up a blubbering mess and needed to escape to avoid being highly embarrassed in front of everyone. But I know now, and wont let it happen again!

I see you had a birthday last week - so a belated happy birthday to you.

I hope you see yourself coming through this latest episode of PTSD Pepsimax. Certainly you have been receiving some wonderful support here, which is great to see. I'm sorry for butting in here, and I hope you dont mind.

Hi also to @Former-Member @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7. I have met you all elsewhere at some stage, lovely to see you all again.

Hi @Pepsimax how ya doin' friend?

Hi again @Pepsimax

I would love to say that it is @utopia's bad influence on me but the reality is I have been a naughty little butterfly all on my own. That little Cocky and @Phoenix_Rising sure do egg me on though - and they are both sooooooo funny!!! Hope you have got a little smile out of some of our carrying on the last couple of days

How are you doing - have been thinking of you and hoping you are ok?!
