This morning I woke up sad. I don't mind feeling all of my emotions, but I don't feel like PTSD some days. I can't push it away.

Journal 4: Audio Journaling is Helping Me See My Progress

January 20, 2020 20:09 - 18 minutes - 16.9 MB

Sometimes it is hard for me to see the progress that I am making. I know that I'm not doing some of the things I normally would do so I tend to feel like I'm not doing enough.

This journey with PTSD is interesting and hard, but I am also growing to be better than I was each day. Thank you for taking the time to listen.
