Gather around the tree everyone

[Harri]

Merry Christmas all!

Marcie, no regrets is an awesome ornament and it looks mighty fine on our tree.

Everyone, we have ornaments, popcorn, music, recovery, humor, llamas, santa wolves and parrots and each other here.  I am so thankful for all of you.

Marcie, that's a beautiful ornament to hang, especially given your recent circumstances. 

JNChell, I'm glad someone finally hung the popcorn.   The cranberries were too sour to eat. With all these animals and a bird around, well, you just need to keep your eyes open!

Blessings to all my PSI family!

I'll put up a an airy ornament: space.

       space to do things at my own pace

       space not to react to panicky messages in an instant, but to allow some time and distance before replying

       space to allow myself to feel and to accept my own feelings

       space to be just me... .

Libra,
What a lovely ornament you have chosen. I would love, at some point, to add this one to my last. Albeit, I’m still very reactive when it comes to the urgent, emotionally charged messages. Those are the fastest for me to reply to, and to act on. Perhaps I will make this one of my new year resolution.

I also want to add one ornament- focusing on the positives, things I do have in my life. I have amazing children, who despite their turbulent upbringing are kind, compassionate and adjusted. My uBPDh who made it possible, for me to receive a Christmas present I couldn’t have wished or hoped for. My uBPDh hysterionic mother, who despite her impulsiveness is still alive, and has a husband by her side, for the home I can coma back to after my trip, for my almost finished education, for possible job prospects, for possibilities of a better life. I have it all. I woke up by myself this morning, my legs carried me around, my body digested food and took the nutrients I needed to keep me alert and partaking in my kid’s activities. I’m great full for everything I have.

They need to remake Santa Paws, but with wolves.

Mixing Wolves and kids ! That would be more “The Texas wolf pack massacre.” or  “Blood soaked Santa !”  Are you available for children’s parties Turk ?

I’m hanging acceptance. I can now watch the news without feeling I need to start an up rising, or write a joke. Anyone else find CPTSD makes you rebellious ?

[JNChell]

It’s the day after Christmas, but I’m hanging the ornament of gratefulness. My Son was treated so well yesterday. I’m very grateful for that. He had a great Christmas.

Rest assured old chap, our Santa Wolf isn't like that at all:



But now back to this important question:

What did the Christmas Santa Wolf bring us?  

So what did you bring us Turk... .uh I mean Santa Wolf?

@JNChell
I'm glad you had such a great time with your son yesterday

[JNChell]

Thanks, Kwamina. Happy Chappy, again, the humor. Thanks for the laughs!

C-PTSD can definitely bring out rebellion. Possibly, that rebellion is defense. Digging deeper, perhaps at times it’s unnecessary defense. Hypervilligance?

It’s a wild ride with this stuff, HC. I don’t have answers, I’m learning along side you and glad to know you. We have stuff in common. Happy Holidays, HC.

Let me hang a little love in the tree.
Because we all deserve that

@JNChell I think you’re onto something there. I remember being sent to see the head master first day at the new school, mainly to point out I bite back. Or maybe a sign of being my BPDs scapegoat.

@FreeSpirit I read 57% of dyslexics experienced physical abuse as a child, against a norm of 7%. But then again, I might not have read that right. We're also excellent problem solvers, so you would probably do well at an IQ test.

I'm also hanging love. Wot like Fie just done.

I especially like that mistletoe appearing out of nowhere.
