Trust is a hard thing to do when you have complex post traumatic stress disorder. I have it to. What I do is I just tell the person I’m trying to build trust with that I have PTSD and I don’t trust very well. They should respect your wish and help you to start trusting them. I had one person say that to me and I said ask me any question you want and I will answer honestly. I don’t think books do alot for you. I think if you get out there and face your fears it will become easier and easier.

Ugh! I’ve been busy and am only now catching up on my blogs…

I found this post to be very inspirational. I would say the area were I am still struggling is with my thoughts, like when my nutritionist said I should probably “move more” my first thought was, “oh goody, I can overexercise!” which is not what she meant at all. Fortunately, I also think of the fight as an all out war and when these thoughts come up, I do everything I can to stay healthy.

OMG I love Pho. When I was in Oregon for a year I missed pho alot especially during winter! Ha now that I am back in Hawaii everywhere! Its one of the first things I ate when I got back!

FYI don’t see what is wrong with drinking sodas I drink Coke Zero just becuase I like it alot, I also drink Kombucha, tea and whatnot.

how funny about the your tailgating experience! i was at the michigan v. ohio state game a couple weeks ago for my birthday, and we saw the EXACT SAME THING. i couldn’t believe it. especially the couple thing, that would be a definite deal breaker for me

i’m also where you are at in your ED recovery…at least it sounds like it. i am RECOVERED but there are still things that i could brush up on. the most important thing is that you are strong enough now to resist those thoughts and kick them to the curb! in time, they will eventually get tired of popping up and just go away

stupid diet coke though…its a must in my household! i really shouldn’t drink as much as i do, but i eat pretty healthy now anyways, so i guess everyone has their vice!

I love Pho, however, I too do not like overcooked and mushy noodled…

Oh fa sho! I am still clinging to ed like a drunk on a street pole. But it’s the fact that I can see myslef doing it that’s changed. I can see the path, but my reluctance to trudge down it makes me slower than I would like. However, I’ve got to say that it just reminds me of the old fable of the tortoise and the hare. SLow and steady wins the race. I am doing it right this time no matter how long it takes me because I don’t EVER want to do it again.

My friends are mad for pho and we keep making/breaking a date to go get some. I need to try it!! xoxo

That “house divided” reminds me of my neighbors in 2004 who had a Kerry AND Bush sign in their yard. I don’t know how they did it!

Go you trying the tripe in pho. I love love love pho and have gradually gotten brave enough to work my way up to tendon, but I can’t handle eating… well, you know.
