How have you dealt with PTSD?

Here's my story, some things omitted due to graphical nature of incidents.

Waking up with a blank mind and thoughts.

Thankfully, I don't have it. BUT - POST 9/11 active duty troops and vets - if you have PTSD, and don't want to use the Military or VA for this, contact us at the Soldier's Project - http://www.thesoldiersproject.org - we provide free counseling by licensed or authorized mental health providers, for Post 9/11 vets and active duty.

I deal with mine every day. Learning tools to dispense with the impact is important, because it never goes away. The sooner we can put our tools to work, the faster we contain the impact.

By sucking it up and driving on!! Yeah, there was some horrible sights in war, but we all knew that out the gate, so I don't let it drive me or my life, surely folks didn't think a war zone was all candy and balloons

I'm still waiting to be seen by a Veterans Administration representative.

A Christ centered recovery group known as "CELEBRATE RECOVERY " has done wonders for me.

I All most got into a Fight with a young Lady..there is a bridge At our town and i politely let the traffic cross the bridge and started taking my turn when this 21 year old lady come through the light an ran on the bridge to block my auto she was yelling and cursing me like i was not there ..she and i set there for 30 minutes or more when my wife encouraged me to back up if she was not with me we would be there until the police came it got very very heated and out of hand fast lots of other things in the same manner i have been fighting this for almost yrs i've had trouble with wal mart , my wifes DR.parking lots and ever with the dog pound i started getting help for this .. i need the meds to help me with the outburst and and to keep my marriage in tact and my walk away time is very useful in alot of these matters

Avoided society in general- still do.

I know I am being redundant in my posts of which I don't really care. We end up in hell and their are three doors. The first door is getting out of hell with some help. The second door is escaping hell through suicide. The third door is remaining in hell. I can only elaborate on the first door as we are liberated from hell and have intimations of beauty and some happiness with a whole lot of sadness that must be reconciled are buried. What I am noticing is I use my life as a paradigm, however, we don't all land on our feet at the same location and path. My existence is not identical to another's. That is another dynamic that makes PTSD therapy challenging. For those who have it, don't quit and keep moving.
