Well life has been crazy for me this week. Yesterday was a rough day. A normal rough day that anyone could have. A symptom free rough day. It was actually a little refreshing to be stressed about normal stuff and not PTSD or Schizoaffective Disorder symptoms. I did not sleep well last night which always makes for a rough day. But I had an okay day and afternoon. My wonderful Mom came up to watch the kids for me while I went to class. Then we went to the grocery store. a busy grocery store, with both kids. And both kids whined and cried pretty much the whole time we were in the store. I was fine though. I was very happy with how well I was handling everything.
This evening was a little harder. I came home, put groceries away, and cleaned a little bit. Then I had a flashback. Basically a memory of the traumatic event that induces fear. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about what happened to me, but it doesn't always produce fear. But I was triggered, and had a flashback. That sent my anxiety up; it stayed up most of the evening. I took Klonopin, but that hasn't helped much. I think a nice cup of honey chamomile tea should help me relax. I think I'll meditate a little too. Clearing my mind and just relaxing always helps some. Again it sure is reassuring to have a dog in the house. I love my Snowflake. She helps me feel safe.
