When PTSD is active, life changes, thought patterns simplify.
The habitual traumatic event is the only movie playing. Over and over the torment haunts us.
How do we handle this unfair life?
What do we do for attitude, effort, and hope?
For me, I know I am luckier than most with childhood PTSD. I have tools and willpower.
Most childhood abuse (C-PTSD) ends in addiction, prostitution, aberrant behavior, disease, shorter life span and suffering.
Most severely abused kids are incapable of taking action, facing their fears (abuse) or improving.
Venture on to the PTSD discussion boards and witness the flailing and suffering . The opposite of healing is going on, victimhood is celebrated in such a public dysfunctional way.
It is extremely sad.
22 vets have committed suicide everyday for last three years, while PTSD surges beyond epidemic rates.
Think of the massive amount of PTSD that grips those living in the war zones our soldier have fought in.
I am lucky. If you follow this blog, I think you are lucky because your looking to heal.
Searching still, you have not given up.
We have the willpower and courage to look for healing and look to take action.
I know happiness and trauma are inside me.
Everyday I connect to that inner guide and search for improvement, a better life.
I can resist with every molecule in my body, that along with not giving up has carved a small space that I live inside.
