It seems as though you are slowly moving from your ego-centric existence to embracing a more optimistic existence with those you love and who obviously love you.

Othello was not only laying out all the reasons he wasn't really to blame, he was also worried about his reputation. He also spent a lot of time blaming Iago.

Faced with the fact that she was, in fact, innocent, he begins a litany of excuses about why it wasn't really his fault. You sound a lot like Othello to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18440943.post-14547462236862431592012-01-08T01:34:24.622-05:002012-01-08T01:34:24.622-05:00Dear Tom,
In dealing with my own PTSD, sometimes ...Dear Tom,<br /><br />In dealing with my own PTSD, sometimes I find it hard to tell what is real and what is part of the mysts. The overwhelming feelings of worthlessness and terror with a throat choking panic can all make it hard to focus on reality's of the current day, and where one stood, and where one stands, and choose the less painful memory and way to be. The rage and fury I feel at the ones who betrayed and wronged me.... well.. I can either hold on to that poison and let it destroy me, or I can let it go.. and with it, the thorns imbedded within me. I choose, with mindfulness, to let it go.<br /><br />I find to avoid personal pain, I try to live in the present, and focus on a glorious future where I feel full of happiness and joy due to the choices I make and control over my self and emotions, and not by the whim of others.<br /><br />My ever faithful and devoted Paladin has certainly had to rescue me from myself more then once. Usually a rapidly downward spiraling depression. In our relationship, the only time he can trump me, is in the realms of health. Mental, emotional, spiritual and physical. I have come to count on his wisdom when I don't know what's best. I do know that he always has my best interests at heart. <br /><br />I know, especially in my cloud of pain, I cannot see clearly. Like you, I must count on my dear therapist to help me see things more clearly. She has not been wrong in the advice and if I trust her, then I trust the direction she is taking me, and that it does feel better.. more peaceful. Between her and Paladin, I am learning to choose to let go of my wrong thinking and learn new, healthier and happier ways of thinking. It is my choice, so I am in control.. and I do like to be in control. It is a truer thinking then my past toxic thinking. And as I choose these better, happier and more optimistic thoughts, I can feel the clouds breaking and the sun.. beginning to shine.<br /><br /><br />I wish you the same.. and all good things and hope that you and your loves find a way back to a true peace together. Sending you all the positive energy possible.<br /><br />Safe Paths,<br />MystresMystresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04442228494268184321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18440943.post-72271274458897354102012-01-07T23:53:44.210-05:002012-01-07T23:53:44.210-05:00Weird dream?
