I saved a buck so I could go to Disabled American Veterans, the best second hand store in the world. Guess what I got for one dollar today? I got a brand new Homedics Envirascape water fountain that was still wrapped in the original plastic with the original tape in the well cared for box. One buck! Score! I love dollar day at DAV.
What does DAV have in store for me next Monday? I can’t wait. It’s like treasure hunting with a buck.

Common Symptoms of Unresolved Trauma
Anxiety
A simple yes will do. Anxiety is a daily occurrence for me.
Panic attacks.
I don’t have panic attacks very often. See avoidance behaviors for why.
Intrusive thoughts, flashbacks.
These are very disturbing for me. Sometimes my thoughts are so intrusive it feels like mental torture. It’s almost as if flashbacks and these thoughts are taunting me. They play again and again until I literally want to cut them out of my head. Of this list here intrusive thoughts and flashbacks are the most disturbing symptom of unresolved trauma. I struggle with this 4 or 5 times per week. By the grace of God it’s not daily.
Shame

Last night’s fall was pretty bad. I’ll need to go in and see my doctor which may end up being at the same time as my therapy appointment. I hope to somehow schedule them on different days. I know doing them both in one day won’t work for me.
My knees and ankles give out all the time but hardly ever do I hit the floor. I can at least catch myself or steady myself with the cane but last night I hit the floor. I even ripped the curtains off the rod and snapped the rod in half. I hit the trash can going down and smacked my head on the wall. Damn! I wish I’d gotten it on film cause I know I was flailing around. That was one award winning fall…… And the winner of the best fall of the year goes to Austin of Sundrip Journals. The crowd cheers. I go to accept my award but Kanye West interrupts with “That old lady on that commercial had a better fall because she couldn’t get up.” ………I laugh now but at the time there was nothing funny about it. I knew very well I was hurt but I wasn’t sure to what extent.
