I am actually coping well.
I just had a theft of some items incredibly important to me. I identified myself symbolically with these things so to lose them is a pretty big deal. There was a time I would have felt like I had lost my right arm. But I am okay. My CBT work sheets havve helped. This isn't the end of my world. In fact, insurance may allow me to replace it all. |

By staying positive and telling myself to stay calm and not to panic.
The main way I cope in life is just staying positive. It works very well. |

Good job on feeling ok despite the theft. I'm not doing my best today, though ironically coming to the forum has made me feel much better.

I feel miserable, now everyone thinks I'm an animal abuser. My past haunts me and I just wish I could sleep.
I have an appointment with a therapist, but as time goes by, I'm just finding excuses to avoid reliving that crap. For the record, emotions aside. I love dog's. Especially puppy breath. I think I'm done with that whole childhood crappy cancer. So tempted to get off my face, but at 2:30am haha, doubt it...not |

I have PTSD and how I cope is that I write out my feelings or I cry. I just cry and hug a pillow cause I know I must get all these feeling's out if I'm going to heal at all. Writing helps me the most though and listening to music. I mostly listen to shoegaze and dream pop artists. They seem to take me away and all I feel happiness.
Music pretty much saved me from everything. If I didn't have music to listen too, I believe I'd be lost. |

Honestly, without music I think I might not be alive. Coping...pdoc way raised meds. I'm feeling much more stable, but trying to cope with the side effects of feeling "loopy" and light-headed. Feels like I keep sliding out of the environment into a half-sleep. |

I was doing fairly good in spite of a hard day at work. Then bang my H is mad at the world via me. I've told him certain subjects are triggers for me and he says psychomumbojumbo ****. So I said I love you and clicked off the phone. Toxic, yes, I know. I am still shaking and gritting my teeth. Probably won't sleep. This ISN'T coping.

I ruined everything. I think I am just too traumatized to deal with certain situations. I hoped I could shut up and go along, but I got hysterical and made a scene. Now I plan to make myself scarce and think I really do have cPTSD. When you are doing a huge shot of vodka in a parking lot on a Sunday morning and trying to leave the family trip ... you know
