I suggest you go to therapy instead of looking on a dating site for someone to talk to

Very good advice. And I want to say you look SO much like a young Susan Sarandon!

Hello Friend:

The PTSD like it is in everyone is locked into the muscle memory and the Autonomic Nervous System. The problem is not in your head it is in your body.

Consequently 'talk' therapy and 'drug' therapy will not be of any help what so ever.

As an example for Combat veterans they do to combat school and with their sparring partner do 1000s of the same combat move .. until exhaustion. They sleep it off and then that combat move is in their muscle memory.

They go into combat, the adrenaline is running, an incident happens .. the sparring move comes out .. they live and then come home to having nightmares.

They have a dream one night and wake up with their dead wife in their hands.

As I said .. drugs and talk will not fix this stuff up.

What does fix it up .. is hot yoga, classical old school Chinese Acupuncture and Integrative Body Psychotherapy such as practiced by the Rosenberg and Rand system of intervention. Biofeedback is a big help as well in resetting the Autonomic Nervous System.

This is hard work to do ... like going to combat school with all those weeks and month dedicated .. that whole tree has to be turned upside down.

You have to dedicate your self .. to your recovery.

So ... get clean and sober .. no daily mood altering substance.

No coffee, no smoke, no alcohol .. no drugs ... for the next 8 years.

The disease has to come out of the body.

This means you have cry out the bitter salty tears .. they are toxic.

Tears of happiness and joy are light and sweet - biochemically different.

The bitter salty tears are what makes the PTSD up and the toxic behaviours.

Getting well .. is easy to do .. just a corker to get done.

You have to WANT TO DO THIS .. if you don't then it will haunt you and screw up your life way past death.

So get to work ...

it will be the hardest thing you have every done in your life.

I had to do it for my children ... for me to deal with the pain that had to come out of my body.

My very warmest regards.
