It can be a Challenge!
PTSD is what I finally found out from my counselor! Finally got my answers! But man it is challenging on a daily basis! Anyone got any motivational ideas to help with those struggling days?
I can try to help. I celebrate tiny victories no matter how small they are. I tell myself today is a bad day - do *one* not twenty just one. Also I ask myself what is the absolute minimum then has to get done (aka all living things in my house, including myself, need basic care. ) when I am just not functioning well. I give myself permission tp just decompress and pull myself back together as long as I manage basic care for pets and people plus one thing.

I recently just got the same diagnosis. I've also started counseling, so I can become a better counselor myself. The biggest thing that has worked for me is remembering healing is not lineal, not engaging with negative obsessive thoughts (recognize them but don't engage), and feeling the feelings I never got to feel around the trauma. Sometime it means crying on the floor.
