Yep! The memories really do stink!

I do all the right things to cope with it, distractions, mindfulness, relaxation, you name it I flipping well do it to try to make it easier some how.

But it seems so unfair that we have to go through all this just to survive.

Getting annoyed with all this YUCK!

Thanks ((((((((((((( Fuzzy ))))))))))))))

I'm sick of it!

(((hugs))) Yes, they do. But they are "just" memories of stuff we went through...nothing now, all past.

Plus, once your brain learns how to file some of them, it will automatically begin filing all the similar ones, so you don't have to go through all of them.

Thanks for the support.

The trouble is when memories are brought into the here-and-now and make the present seem very dark indeed. Difficult to tell sometimes what is really going on.

And it sucks too.

YES to all of that.

I experienced some of that with my VR session yesterday... at some points instead of being on the airplane engines roaring, I was back at the place where I was disabled, turbines whining. Glad my T was there guiding me

((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))

[pegasus]

Yes, thank goodness T helps so much.

Hugs to all that get bombarded with yucky memories.

I can so understand pegasus

at such a time, a person needs extra self-care(IMO)..... like a treat(chocolate works for me ), doing something that you so very much enjoy but don't get to do very often(I sometimes watch one of my favorite movies) or anything that helps one to feel a bit pampered.

Hope it's OK I wrote some things that might help.... it's just that you didn't ask-- I hope you don't mind.

My heart is with you pegasus-

[pegasus]

Thank you (((((((((( mandy ))))))))))))) ...........You are very caring.

It is very easy to forget about self-care and I must admit that seems to be the first thing to go.

A little more of me? I don't post much in PTSD any more, for reason... but..

you know I mentioned the Virtual reality session using flying etc... and I did really well considering, though the memories of the area I was injured at came through... well I slept ok... but this morning while I was driving I had flashbacks of many of the injury auto accidents I have worked over the years... most before the injury I think... how weird is that? WOnder why the brain dug those up! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Distract yourself pegasus. You don't have to dwell on the stuff... what the brain needs to do it will do...

I think what is with me is that there are a lot of changes happening in my life at the moment. Stress for people with PTSD is super-stress so I really have got to do some good self-care.
