PTSD for Life

In the most difficult realizations comes a life sentence. PTSD. Post-traumatic stress disorder Is the diagnosis for surviving an often cataclysmic event or series of events that cause constant repeated stress on a victim.

Not recalling the mechanisms used to live with the disease is a short coming that affected my recent years. I lost my memory because of losing all my iron. The old triggers returned because I failed to recall all the hard work I did to learn to live with them. I had overcome restrictions in my ability to cope with my capabilities to succeed.

The journey has been tough and I’ll have to say quite upsetting. But, without the help of a great psychiatrist, I dare say I would have remained in the darkened space that some PTSD victims find themselves a part of.

If you, or a loved one is affected by mental illness, get help. Don’t wait thinking you fix this on your own. We all need help sometimes. And it is better to ask for that assistance to get to a better and carefree life.
