I Am Healing Myself And Changing

What a perfect group to place my story about my PTSD leaving me!
How cool..huh

For the past few weeks, my mind is traveling backwards into my history.
At first I thought why am I seeing these things, reruns, reviews of what once was. I even told my husband I thought my days were coming to an end because I was seeing my life's past flashing through my mind.

I am remembering things... from years ago. Good situations and some nasty events. But all in all it's pretty cool to .. remember, to have memories come to the surface.
I see myself, it is helping me to understand things, whys and how comes.
I am identifying with so many things and coming to terms with... life.

Last night while we were putting up our garden fence(in the rain) I had a revelation. I was telling my man about a happening... when all of a sudden, I realized what I was revealing to him and me!
I looked right into his eyes and told him, "I am healing and changing, I am remembering."
He smiled really big and grabbed a wet kiss.
I am alive!

Healing is a journey of moving forward, and backward at time, but the constant is going toward an end. It's great that you have someone to share it with that you can trust and seems to enjoy the journey also. Always feels good to be alive!

@ChemDawg Thank you! If you have dealt with PTSD then you know how happy I am for it to be leaving me. I pray you can say the same real soon.
My son, who went to Iraq, it took a toll on him. He still is suffering from it. The day he returned, after all the death and seeing things he wished he hadn't, the first night home, our house built to the ground. It was icing on the cake. He is better, his work keeps him balanced.
Take care my friend.
