I hate the racing of my mind, and the racing of my heart. Sometimes the onslaught of emotions feel overwhelming and other days I feel more equipped to deal with it all. People who don't suffer from PTSD simply don't understand the strength it takes to make it through just one day. Some days are harder than others. I'm trying to learn to hold onto the good days and moments. I long for a society where we don't harm each other emotionally, physically, mentally, or sexually. I know that this will never happen, but I can pray and hope. Gentle hugs to everyone.

Be the change you want to see in the world. ~Gandhi

I can almost hate Gandhi for presenting such a challenge. Me? I am still stuck in the Dave Van Ronk song, "Somebody Else, Not Me." ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jteFbTB0Ndw )

But the change has to start somewhere. Let it begin with me? How?

Works in progress. . .

Maybe we can figure it out together. I agree that our PTSD OUGHT to give us extra insight. In theory, at least. Theory behaves so well on paper. . .

Welcome to the forum, pt.

I think that kind of society would be amazing. I am sorry for whatever it was that led you to DS, but I pray you can find hope now that you are here.

pt, I kid around with my friends that heaven for me will be a place where I meet aliens from other worlds who tell me earth was the exception in the universe, not the rule. That on other worlds no one harmed each other emotionally, physically, mentally, or sexually you put it.

So like you I can pray and hope for that heaven, too.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
