People with PTSD need acceptance
Again the reason I'm writing about this is to help raise awareness for those of us living with invisible disabilities. I appreciate you taking the time to read this. Feel free to ask questions and open a respectful dialogue. Thank you again.
Please reply to this comment if you accept or decline.
I accept. Thank you very much :)
Thank you for sharing about your experiences. I can see why someone on the outside looking in might want to assume that it's something you can "just get over" and move on. But it's good to be reminded that it's involuntary, and we should be more sympathetic to that.
thank you for reading with an open mind. That's why I post my stories so some might learn from that. Thank you so much again.
You have to have confidence in your ability, and then be tough enough to follow through. Have a nice day :)
Nice to have you back :)
thanks sunshine. It's nice to be back :) I've missed you
Thanks! It's just nice to read some original honest posts :)
ty :) How've you been? Did you have a good summer?
I sure did. I was enjoying life in France, which was great as the summer didn't arrive here in Denmark. How has yours been?
It's been good. I've been healing and pulling myself back together. I'm starting to make friends. The weather is beautiful as summer here has been rough this year lol It's cooled down to the 80's in the day and 60's at night here. I wish it was like this year round. :) Glad France was good for you. I'd love to hear some stories if you want to share :)
I think it's very beneficial to do something you find difficult every day, taking a cold shower for example, or going out for a walk, even if it's just half an hour around your neighborhood.
Staying inside makes all your energy bounce back to you. I experience this all the time and when I go out, it suddenly feels like I can breathe again.
I would have to agree with you on that. Most days I'm able to. Every once in a while I'm not able to. Fresh air and breathing are heaven. One thing too many take for granted. :) Thank you for your input :)
Congratulations. This post has been featured in today's Muxxybot curation post.https://steemit.com/curation/@muxxybot/muxxybot-curation-26
thank you very much. What an honor :) I appreciate all of the help I can get in raising awareness.
Oh such good new friends :)
I once had a panic attack from watching IronMan have a panic attack on the screen.
IN the theater.
One of the other radio hosts suffers pretty bad, and ended up in the hospital twice this week from an episode. I will be focusing one of my upcoming radio shows on anxiety and PTSD. Its becoming more and more prevalent and in my honest opinion an epidemic.
I understand. I can't watch movies with car chases or sometimes even just cars in them. No more James Bond for me.... It's embarrassing for me but I keep reminding myself that it's involuntary. I still want to collaborate and talk to you more to get to know ou better. From the little I do know about you, you are a symbol of strength for me and I'd like to thank you for that. :)
We definitely must get together :)
