Last night I was up late again. I stayed up finishing Gary Iles's novel Blood Memory, which is a disturbingly and wonderfully good fictional thriller involving PTSD.
I ended up again, as I often do, on the phone with my best friend, who knows far too much about everything about me, and so is one of the great comforts of my life (as I often am for her.) Her husband, like me, is an ostensibly functional person with PTSD.
I'm tired of being tired. I'm tired of being numb, and afraid, and disconnected from life. I look at people I know who are functional and happy and purposeful (normal?) and I want to learn to be like them.
My father, a teacher in his heart and soul, always told me that the best way to learn something really well is to teach it.
So here I am diving into the world wide web to learn, to share, and to publish for all to see, my own crazy, personal, wonderful, nutty journey back to health and normality, or as close as I can manage to get to it!
Please join me.

As with everything else, please take from this blog what seems good to you, and just leave the rest here.
Quote for today: A good friend is someone who sees right through you and still enjoys the view. --(I don't know who said this, but if anyone else does and lets me know, I will properly attribute it.)
