My Ptsd, depression and anxiety are being set off more and more each day. My night terrors are just that, full of bad crap in them. It makes it hard to fall asleep knowing they are more frequent these days. I just wish I could get throught this shit I am going through with support from my friends. I wish I had more friends to talk to on the phone, but sadly I don't. I am very greatful for the short list of 2 that I speak to when I can. I wish I could move on with my life and this shit was done and over with so all my sypmtoms would calm down a bit and leave me to a more peaceful life. Hopefully whatever will happen will be soon, but it's Not going to be soon enough. It's not easy walking in my shoes as of the last few months. I hate what's happening but there isn't much I can do about it except go through the process of the shit that's being done. I can't wait for it to be over with, done, Finito !!

Justbeme,

I wish I could give you some inner peace. I feel your pain. It brings me tears, as it does you. From what you have written, I sense that you and I are quite a like than different. Have you talked to a therapist about your PTSD and anxiety?

The one thing that has helped me tremendously over time is meditation and prayer. It was a gradual process of learning for me. It is about refocusing my energy onto the good. Let me give you an example. I have a sheet of paper that I write down who is sick, who needs what, who is mad at who, and of course wildlife, my pets, and world events. One day I will meditate and find my center of being and be silent. And all of my energy goes into reflecting on that topic. I use white candles to burn, as well as incense. It is cleansing for me.

Another example, I have found that being a caretaker for my dying sister was a wonderful gift. I was first devistated over her death, and still am to a certain degree. But now I am able to really put her life in a place and go on living. Her 2 sons are a tribute to her mothering. And I see that now. Before I never did. Today her husband and 2 sons and I have a different relationship. We are closer, but more understanding and loving towards each other. Make sense?

Life is like waves coming and crashing on a beach. It never stops. It is constantly there. For some it is relaxing. For others it is devistation. Again it's perception. Everyone has a different take on 1 thing. That is why I think prayer and meditation work wonders for me. I highly recommend it.

I wish you peace.

Andrew
