Agoraphobic dealing with PTSD Support Group

Good morning everyone! I thought we would call today's thread "wishful" Wednesday so that we each can list a wish of our own. It can pertain to agor, ptsd, life, anything.

Has anyone completed or attempted their weekly challenges besides Cheryl and I? Remember to list the 2 challenge items you did, pictures if possible, and a short story so we can all celebrate with you.

Not much going on here, just trying to let some anxiety wave over me and not feed into the flashbacks. I'm hoping a bed will open up in the hospital today so that I can admit myself for a little bit until I get control of my ptsd and life. =] They've been full for a few days now, so I have to wait until a bed opens up.

Does anyone have any exposure plans for today?

Here's our wishing well for the day. Everyone make a wish =]

My wish is to have a great visit with my daughter today when I go see her. =]

This fella whose name is Phoenix has been my whole life for the last couple of weeks.

Yesterday was very hectic for the both of us and I had him neutered so now he has to wear this lamp shade LOL really called an e-collar.

Sorry I have not been on here much but will try to come on here more often.

Do we have to state what our wish is????

My wish is for all of you.....

....to wear a dog cone? LOL

Good morning. I am having a difficult time typing because of this dog cone that magically appeared?!

I am going to take a walk with my dog today, just down the street and THEN walk the same thing alone. When the panic comes, and it will, I will allow it to flow over me. AND I will try to take pics.

Kayla, I think that I will also describe what happens after pushing the safe zone too. I normally use my Ipod for distraction but I suppose that defeats the purpose. We shall see. I should probably just go and do it without thinking too much....just do it, ya know?

Christine! Welcome back! I love your new dog. It's so sad when they have to wear the cone of shame though!

Here is how our horse/puppy looked after her surgery. NOT a happy puppy.

I like how your dog's cone of shame is clear, that way they don't bump into things~

See Cheryl, ditch the iPod idea, and try mine (when you drive). It works wonders. =]

Well my wish is for everyone on here to have a spirit of happiness!!

Not to let the world dictate our thougths and ruin our day.

Well this is a pic of my new guy!!

He is the love of my life and has changed my whole entire life(for good).

I rescued him from an animal control in Baltimore as he was stated to be put down soon!!!

Some angel e-mailed me and let me know where he was and I agor and all drove all by myself 75miles to go rescue him!!!

He is well behaved and house broken(oh goody) has manners(someone taught him those)

He was only 57lbs when I got him on May 31 and yesterday hit the 80.4lb mark!!!

You think maybe we fed him 24/7? Yeah we did and the second day I had him I took him to the vets and was given a good bill of health.

He was found as a stray and picked up May 13th and not one soul called looking for him!!!

I have been looking for another white german shepherd for a very long time and God blessed my socks off with this guy.

Yesterday was another AGOR and PSTD issue as I had to cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and talked to Phoenix the whole time as he was amazed when he saw the Chesapeake Bay!!!

I believe that bridge is over 3 miles long or even longer I can't remember but what a view!!!! It was a perfect day and the weather could not have been better.

Another thing I did that surprised me was I went to a huge outlet that is over on the eastern shore because I didn't want to drive back and forth on that bridge anymore than I had to.

So I figured I test myself while I waited for my sweetie pie to be fixed.

I walked over 3 miles!!!!! Yeah that place is huge!!! I got there early so found a perfect parking space behind the stores and in the shade.

I actually bought myself some things and some fudge for hubbie.

I bought some lunch and sat in my car which was facing some wonderful woods with critters and really enjoyed myself(for once)

Picked up my sweetie pie Phoenix with the lamp shade and drove home.

When I got home????OMG I fell on the sofa and passed out!!!

Phoenix was so doped up he stayed asleep till hubbie came home.

I just couldn't wait to tell everyone all the things I've done in the last few wks that I could of never done not too long ago.

So hope everyone enjoyed my happy story and I'll try to come back tomorrow.

I wish my ipod would keep its charge longer than an hour or two. Third replacement. So I am thinking it is my itunes account. Where there is hundreds of dollars worth on it. So, I don't want to start a new one. And I doubt the account is bad anyways. Why would it cause so many issues? I have been hung up on and called a liar by apple. Needless to say no more apple products for me. My first ipod, and ipod touch were terrific though..

Poor doggy. Hope he feels better soon!

Last night I ordered fabric to make my dads parents a quilt for Christmas. I wanted to order it before I left, that way It would be here when I got back so I could start it right away. It's going to be 89 1/2" x 104 1/2" big (about queen size). I wouldn't believe it, 22 yards of fabric and it cost me $140 and it was $34 to ship all of it!!!!!! I could see like $10-$14 to ship it, but seriously, $34 for standard shipping???? Good lord! Oh well, I want to show them how much I appreciate them and how much I love them being they've been so understanding of things all my life, so it will be well worth it for them. But I don't think I'd pay that much if it were for anyone else. LOL!
