That time of year

Christmas. I know it is a month and a half away, but already it raises its head. I am not on top form at the moment, with the PTSD making inroads into my daily thoughts, and the usual feelings of 'unreal' and 'fraud' sitting laughing at me. As I came home today, the boss was pushing me to come out on the team Christmas do next month, and it was all I could do not to cry in front of him. He is a good friend, but he deserves better from me.

Not a good time at the moment, so whatever I write may suffer. Sorry.

A good friend...

...who probably appreciates and will understand just why you feel he deserves better, aye? Unreal and fraud? Never! You're a hero to me! My prayers and wishes to you, dear heart.

Only 43 Shopping Days Left till Xmas!

I wouldn't mind at all if it was just kept to an intense 12 days. I am surprised we don't get blitzed on December 26th "Only 364 Shopping Days Left!" ...don't miss out folks, start early.

Phrasing

By 'come out' I mean 'attend'...

Thanks Steph,

'you once wrote that PTSD coupled with GID was a virulent cocktail and we both know that you were not wrong,so I well understand where you are coming from when asked to attend a Xmas 'do'. Perhaps it is Social
Anxiety as the psychologists put it to make it sound easier,the only problem being that it never becomes easier.
I just hope that you feel better on the day,my thoughts are for you and all of us who have trodden this path
and understand.A fraud? No way!Never!
