An Introduction to my PTSD

The first thing I'll do is tell you what this is not. This is NOT a blog with the purpose of getting attention for myself, or bragging, or anything of the sort. This is simply my story, poured out on paper in the hopes that someone might read it and realize that they are not alone. In an ideal world it might even help someone, but I make no promises for that, all I'm trying to do is explain how I am attempting to gain control of my Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and perhaps offer examples of how others might do it.

I'll be posting a variety of things on here, not just written exercises or "journal" entries but also "memes" that trike me, videos, music, even quotes. Each will come with an explanation as to why it's important, and why it struck me as important. It might not mean anything to you, it might not seem to speak to you at all, but it does to me and thus why I have posted it.

It is also important to note that while the title of my blog might lead you to believe that my PTSD is all related to my service in the military, that is sadly not the case. My PTSD dates back to my early childhood which is why it is such a difficult thing to get through and get past. Hopefully my posts will explain that and demonstrate that.
Feedback is welcome as long as it is encouraging and/or constructive criticism. If you have suggestions, or things that work for you, feel free to explain that! I'm completely open to suggestions. This is just my way of doing things. Perhaps I'll try your suggestion and feature it on here!
With that said, Enjoy!
