Good morning everyone. Today I go deer hunting for the first time in a long time . I was going to go yesterday but our neice had a baby. They are both doing well. The baby's name is Cleo Lea. She weighed 6 lbs.6 ounces. So now today I get to hunt. I don't have any bad stuff associated with hunting so I hope all goes well. NO INTRUSIVE thoughts.

Congrats on the arrival of your niece, Mack! Good news.

I spoke with a buddy last night on the phone about your observations about deer hunting and how being in nature's helping PTSD. CBS Sunday Morning had a story about it on their show yesterday, too, with medical studies confirming being out in nature helps us.

Hoping you have a good healing day out there, my friend.

No intrusive thoughts??? Please let me know how that one works. Reconnecting with Nature is powerful medicine, but it has yet to be THAT powerful for me, no matter how far I retreat into the wilderness. I have the survival skills to retreat pretty damned far into the wilderness, but it remains a natural fact that wherever I go, there *I* am, intrusive thoughts and all.

Still, viewing those intrusive thoughts within the natural order adds potent, healing perspective.

Enjoy. Congrats on the new niece.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
