Hugs! You are never alone here. Someone will always be around to listen and support. Try to have faith that it will be okay and if the PTSD occurs, you will cross that bridge when you get to it. It is normal to have anxiety and trouble sleeping when there are changes in our lives and allow yourself peace in that knowledge. As for Thanksgiving- at the core, it is just another day. A perhaps a day alone may be a wonderful thing. Either way, remember to try to take the time out and do something for yourself that you enjoy. As for the rest, it will come and go, no matter how the hours pass. Best wishes always!

Look at it as a new day. You have come so far this year. Thankful you made it this far. That's a reason to celebrate..even on your own. We are here to help each other out. Hope u have a peaceful day tomorrow. :)

Today is Thanksgiving, and I will be alone today. I bought a nice chicken to roast. I'm going to make mashed potatoes. I have some cranberries in a can. And I'm going to have another vegetable, but I'm not sure what. I don't make pies, but someone gave me a peach pie and it's in my freezer. I can unthaw it if I want.

My first Christmas alone, I just decided that I was going to have a nice time. I knew that I could take another road and be miserable, but I decided not to. Don't think about what I didn't have, just make myself a nice day. I did. Cooked. Got phone calls, made phone calls.

We make the best of what we've got.

Happy Thanksgiving.
