PTSD and Me

[Furyan66]

Fury - Not sure how I missed this thread all this time but thank you for sharing with us. Sharing like this can be very therapeutic. It seems like you have figured out for the most part how to manage your PTSD although I understand there are times when we have no control and no matter how we try our brain defies us.

Sending positive thoughts your way and wishing you many pretty sunrises & walks around the lake.

Hey reilli

Thanks for reading through all my problems. It is therapeutic getting them out in the open. Hell a lot of what I posted on here my family and friends either don't know or don't understand.

I have learned to pretty much manage my PTSD but it was a LONG road learning what worked and what did not. A lot of it is just learning mental discipline. The anxiety, stress and panic attacks (THE WORST) I can usually feel the panic attacks coming on and then its just concentrate on breathing, meditation and a few other things this little oriental doctor taught me to "keep mental focus". I worked with my psychologist and psychiatrist and got off pretty much all the 15 different pills they had me on at the time and now it's just an anti anxiety medication I take.

Just gotta keep putting up the good fight cause this iz not gonna get the best of me although I still do have months at a time where I get so depressed I don't leave the house. It's a constant fight

Peace All
