Time passes quickly when you have things occupying it. Hard to believe it has been over 3 years since BD, i had almost forgotten about it.
LH and Steve good to hear from you! Life rolls on, one day at a time.
Wayfarer - thanks for your comments. I apologize for not replying sooner but I have found it difficult to return here. I don't know why maybe its reliving the past. I have not started EMDR yet but it is in my plans. At the moment going to IC is priority. I have a lot of stuff to process.
D - always good to hear from you. Your words mean so much and the forum is lucky to have you. I hope you are well.
My situation remains stable, no change. I could write about day to day nuances and things to nitpick over but the guy that used to do that is no longer me so I will not. I feel different - battle worn. It would take a lot to get riled up like that again.
For those of you who are new, here are a few things that helped me get where I am today.
Sandis 37 rules Breathing/meditation Giving space even when you are hurting Learning you cannot control anything other than yourself Mindfulness - stopping or altering unconstructive thoughts Not responding when you are emotional Finding other things to do Not talking as much, getting quiet, listening more
Most importantly:
Listening to the vets And reading every situation here. Wriiting helps yes, but read. Three times as much as you journal. Or more.
