I am so exhausted, and still got a long road ahead. It is 7 years this week since our youngest daughter disclosed years of abuse at the hands of her brother. Her sister was also abused. I myself have a history of childhood trauma.
My brave daughter decided to go to the police and report the abuse. They have been amazing, and she spent about 8 hours over 2 days giving her story. She was in a psychiatric hospital at the time and could get supervised leave. Within an hour of being back at the hospital, she collapsed in her room, but pushed the emergency button before she passed out. The nurse found her having a seizure.
She has been in intensive care for 10 days now with suspected auto immune epilepsy. Last night she was transferred via air to a hospital 4 hours away that has a specialist epilepsy centre. This is all new to us and life was complicated enough already. Just running on adrenaline. Exhausted, scared and with my anxiety through the roof. Reaching out to those who know how exhausting life is with complex ptsd without a major health crisis thrown in.

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.

To sho you are not as lost as your PTSD makes you feel:-) REmember that, get some good rest, and I pray healing for you and yours.
Thanks for taking the time to encourage and support me. I am doing better after a decent rest and lots of walking. Being in nature is my best therapy I find. Hard to stop the brain buzzing.
More tests for my daughter today. Waiting for results and answers. Will keep you updated as things come to hand.
