PTSD and Trauma recovery

[Andrew, Jr.]

No ingrown toenail. I went to the podiatrist. He said it was from the diabetes. My toe looks normal, but hurts like heck.

I feel like for each and every step forward I make, there is something in my pathway shoving me back. It is very frustrating and depressing. I have to pull myself outta this funk.

My father is a selfish, self-centered, jackass. I have my 11 nieces and nephews hanging on me, asking me to intervene on their parents behalf. They are so very upset with their Grandfather. I really have never witnessed anything of this nature before. It brings tears to my eyes. I told one of my nephew's fiances that I wish I won the Powerball Lottery so I could just hand out cash to all of them.

Same thing happened to me, podiatrist and everything. Toe looked fine but hurt sooooo bad. I hope yours is all better soon.

So sorry about all the obstacles, I agree that can be very depressing.

Try and enjoy things you can pinpoint as good, like your friends and your babies.

I'm sorry your having a tough stretch. I think it will be better soon. There seems to be a black cloud affecting a lot of people's lives right now. I think it its because of the transition into Spring from the harder winter most have experienced. The energy is on the upswing raise your heart and raise the vibration.

Well, I have done a major no no. I stopped my daily blood draws, and have been skipping my Actos (diabetic med.). With the money I saved on the strips for the blood draws and my meds, I was able to save enough money to buy my niece a nice wedding present. That is why my big toe is giving me trouble. I know I know. I already got the lecture.

So, are you getting back on the program today?

[Andrew, Jr.]

Yep. I am back on my meds today, and tomorrow I start the blood draws.
