Today is a bit better. I am looking at houses and moving soon and still have a lot of coping to face. I fear I will be keyed up till I get moved and settled.
Trying to focus on the good in my life and remaining calm no matter what. I want to kick PTSD.

I know I am not a frequent flyer in here but I am a lurker...and I dropped down to say my hand is upon your back for comfort, dear one...breathe....there are many of us who ride the waves of PTSD and shatter our boats upon rocky shores....but those shores also reach grassy lines and smoother land...places you have also been before. Get there too...

Thank you all for your support! My hives are a bit better after going back to the doc on Friday and Saturday. I hate it that my body reacts like this to stress.
I am trying to focus on getting better before takling moving and all that, am staying with friends.

As someone who experiences PTSD symptoms from a single traumatic event, I've found it difficult to find information that relates to my experience or providers that can offer me meaningful insight.
I think the article is really wonderful and I wanted to share it. It focuses not just on the PTSD experience but talks a lot about "post-traumatic growth". It also talks specifically about women's health and PTSD experience. /snip "What can these women teach the rest of us? As researchers learn more about what makes people resilient, they hope to develop therapies that could lessen negative responses and promote post-traumatic growth instead. "It's not about getting over it—it's about processing it in the most meaningful way," Tedeschi says. "You still have your fears and grief and suffering, but you have made your suffering meaningful. If you can learn to do that, you can get through the bad stuff in life and find value in the struggle." /snip http://www.self.com/health/2010/12/l...cheating-death

What a great Article Sparkle!
I am surprised that there is not more info on single event PTSD, that seems like the most likely scenario. Maybe right now so much PRSD is war related? I am doing much better. Went to the beach over the long weekend and meditated had some fun and I am amazed at how much just a couple of days in the sun relaxed my mind. I have started walking when I feel anxious, which really helps and as I remove things from my life which seem to trigger me, my life seems to get better. Sending peaceful vibes to all the PTSDers out there!
