Hallucinations

sometimes my flashbacks are hallucinations. and i also have hallucinated upon first waking up. i think it can definitely be related to PTSD

Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
