Writers With Post Traumatic Stress Disorder WWPTSD Community Group

I started this group because I suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and I was an avid writer before the Event that caused PTSD. Ever since I have realized that writing is the key to me overcoming this and making myself whole again. I would like to reach out and support others on this journey or a similar one.

(hit the submit button by mistake dammit)

I'm not worried about digging two graves
In the sun l will let his innards decompose
And wear his leathery skin as clothes
He will no longer wear me like a conquered fur
Hunted trapped and beaten, stripped and made hollow
My throat is filled with porcupines and glass
I dare not swallow
I gag because something must be done
Can't everybody see that something must be done?
SOMETHING GODDAMMIT!
Do I dare to wear his filth
Or do I dare to see him there
At the end of the table, smiling, laughing, looking me in the eye
He's won
He's one
We're one
Something must be done
Children born in blood and screams
Raised to reach their parents' dreams
An equal
And opposite

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. 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...
