PTSD-avoiding the triggers
PTSD-avoiding the triggers
To all who wish to overcome:
I recently heard a story of a 75 year old Veteran who had told his family he served as a "cook" in WWII. He took his grandchildren to see Saving Private Ryan and had to be carried from the theater and hospitalized. He said it triggered even the smell of combat.
He had lived a very healthy, productive life and coped with his war experience by never discussing it WITH HIS FAMILY; he could not relive the horror with them.
I believe that is the only way to get past anything painful.He left those memories with the other dead bodies and moved on to a new life.
I encourage all of you to avoid the triggers to this pain as you heal. Remove anything..even friends who insist on discussing it ... that will bring back pain ; take captive your thoughts andyour life and move on.
Then revisit much later from safety. This and my faith, has been the only way I could get past this PEACEFULLY and PRODUCTIVELY.
Otherwise, life in the battlefield of your past will be much like war...your remain traumatized and the wounds never heal.
If you do not engage with the enemy( the illness) physically ..the war is over. All you will be fighting are the memories and what you choose to think on.
Take captive your thoughts and think on what you gifts you have and how much you can give others...Be Blessd and Be a Blessing....Be thankful you are not with this illness..
so...what if you avoid the
