Restoring my soul.

I wrote about my struggle with PTSD yesterday and it seems that I was bit “gloomy” in my outlook.

So on a positive note some of the things I have learned about myself through out all of this are

– I am a strong person

– I don’t have to put up with other peoples imposed views of me

– I have learned to meditate and take time out

– I have learned to stand up for myself

– I have learned to not be taken advantage of (in some circumstances)

– I have learned the value in prioritising the things that are important to ME.

– Take one day at a time, one hour at a time and one minute at a time.

– don’t sweat the small stuff, some things are just too insignificant to pay attention to.

– Do one thing a day no matter how small to please myself.

– If I’m having a bad day don’t make any rash decisions

– try to focus on the positive aspects of every situation

So whilst PTSD and depression is not fun in anyway, there have been some learning outcomes from the diagnosis.
