Settling for Now

by
So here's the thing:

It's been 1½ months since the car wreck involving me and pops. And while walking away unscathed was something that happened physically, the mental part of it lingered a lot longer than I care to admit. I drive by the place of impact almost every day and it repliays over and over again in my head. and to make matters worse, the stupid thoughts of "I should've" want to plague my mind and I won't let them. I have an astute understanding of "You can't change what happened" and it helps me move away.

My main focus was getting pops straight and it's coming along... slowly. He is 70 after all, but now comes the process of getting a new ride to be able to function. And that in and of itself is another story that I don't want to tell right now. I'm getting back into the swing of things, like writing and leaving thoughts on submissions, but mental recovery has been a much needed thing for me. December 2nd was quite the while away, but I still have love for you guys. Thank you guys for understanding and see you soon.

PTSD can be a female rabid dog to deal with. You could try to deal with it yourself and try to put is away in the darkest recess of your mind or hire some professional therapy to talk things out. But in the least accept what happened and it ended in a good way.

I'm in my 60s, and age is just a number, but one has to take better care of themselves in these upper years. The issue for some is a depression setting in that one has outlived friends and family and no longer what to continue but too scared to off themselves. So all that bad Mojo begins to work against them (body aches & pains, tiredness, low esteem, etc.). How I handle it? I just love me too damn much to care about others when I used to care for everyone around me... So I live for myself, my girls and what few friends I care about (including online ones).
