If you need to stay in bed today and rest.
If you need to listen to music a lot today.
If you need to watch movies today & snuggle on the sofa.
If you want to clean the house.
If you want to read.
If you need to get out and have some fresh air.
If you want to catch up with friends.
If you want to be alone.
If you need to cry.
If you need to smile, laugh.
Whatever you need to do today…..you do it, with no guilt.
No-one else knows what ‘you’ need.
I support your needs to do what you need to do to cope through each day.

Reading this beautiful post, I’m battling with the guilt of having too much of a good thing. If I can’t seem to be able to cope with anything but stay in my bed and read, then is it possible that my “willpower and self-discipline muscle” does not get to be used and trained? Maybe coping and taking care of myself is best achieved by doing things I don’t want to do? Giving in to the urge to watch movies and stay inside, does not help me grow? I have no idea…. just ruminating.

(I know that the approach I mentioned is best for depression, but I’m not sure if it’s also best for C-PTSD. Maybe the approach needs to be tweaked. Suggestions appreciated! 🙂
