As we felt the effects of yesterday, please keep in mind that today, is a new day, and therefore a new beginning.

Welcome to my website. This website will be used as a tool for people like me, who has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, and other mental disorders, we suffer from. I am new to this, so please, I ask for your patience and guidance. I also welcome your input when it comes to this topic. There will be many of us with different religious backgrounds. So please let us respect our differences and focus more on the topic mentioned. I will be posting, and blogging throughout, while adding some quotes, poems, short stories, and writings, and artwork from my nephew "SPIRO". There are many ways to cope, this will be my way thank-you.

I'll have some wine thanks
Isn't that Scene calming
We all live in a world of uncertainty. We can't say what tomorrow will bring. We just have to take it one day at a time. We have to remain calm, even in times of chaos. We are flawed, yet we strive for perfection, after all we are human beings.

THAT'S LIFE; JUST SAYIN'
JULY 11, 2024
IN ORDER FOR US TO DEAL WITH OUR PAIN, OUR TRAUMA, WE MUST CONFRONT OUR PAIN. WE MUST FIND A WAY TO CO- EXIST WITH OUR PAIN. FOR OUR PAIN, OUR TRAUMA, WILL NEVER GO AWAY. IT COULD BE CONTROLLED. IF YOUR DESIRE FROM PAIN EXIST. YOU MUST "FIND A WAY TO CONTROL THE PAIN".
P.T.S.D.
Sometimes, in order to escape my trauma, I have to get out of the environment that is triggering my trauma until it subsides. Travel, see different things, places, people. By doing so, I'm able to reboot my mind if you will, reshuffle the brain cells, focus on beauty, and peace of mind. Now believe me, I know firsthand that it might not always work, I always have that mindset, that I'm being followed, but we have to try. I also know that it might be difficult for us to be able to just get up and go. We might not have the resources or the time. Here me out, when it comes to our health and wellbeing, try and make time.
Close your eyes, Inhale, hold your breath for ten seconds or more, then release.
Have you ever felt that all is lost? It's a feeling that we all sometimes experience in life. I feel that way always, but I also keep in mind that, staying positive will weather the storm, so I could overcome that feeling.
Please excuse me if I may have misspelled any of my words, I write with pain in my heart.

Close your eyes and think quiet thoughts
You are in control. You are safe. You are good. Thinking positive is a good thing.
My opinion is that in order for us to cope, we have to learn how to deal with our trauma. Not everyone's trauma the same and a person (like me) that deals with multiple traumas. So, you would have to find out what works for you. Let me get some feedback, so that I myself and others can know different ways of coping.

About Me
As a young man serving my country for more than three decades. Serving in the "COLD WAR", "THE PERSIAN GULF WAR", and still serving. Working for the "DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS VA HOSPITAL". Helping, and attending to our veterans' care and needs. All awhile going through different traumatic experiences along the way. It is difficult to cope, to socialize, to blend back into the ways of civilian life. But I try every day. Difficulty sleeping, sometimes difficulty eating, while uncontrollable depression and anxiety would creep in. However, its triggered. Keeping to myself at all times wherever possible, as the fear consumes me.The overwhelming nightmares, cold sweats, and voices, would fuel my soul full of hate for what has happened to me. Most importantly for what I have become. Suicidal tendencies racing in my mind. What is PTSD? Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. It is no joke, It's real. I am losing my mind. Treatment would help some, but not much. I had to find something that would bring my attention to focus. To bring about peace and calm. To set my mind at ease.

HEALING
Healing does not have a time frame; It is a process that everyone must go through. my opinion on the topic of healing is that we all heal differently. Years can go by from the initial trauma, and yet the effect of the trauma remains. I can approach you in a calm manner, at least that is what you see on the outside of me, but inside of me is still trying to manage, struggling, trying to cope with the trauma. As my mother use to say to me, "TIME HEAL ALL WOUNDS". I just try to hold on to that, and use it as one of my tools. Maybe you can do the same. Let me know.
" This is where I vent". If you also need to talk about anything, please contact me. Other than religion, politics, or anything else not relating to the topic that make up this web site please with respect no need to become involved. Thanks.

P.T.S.D. (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)
Mental can affect the physical. This includes your health.
Life including daydreaming into your future is not guaranteed. When we're growing into our adult life, we have the tendency to make believe a world that makes us powerful beyond all measure. we are rich, we are famous, we are untouchable, we are infallible, and with that thought process you become confident no matter the nay sayers. Keep in mind that it is ok to dream, to feel, but with all that you process always remind yourself to remain humble. Kind of like thinking outside the box and input, WHAT IF?
We all suffer from something. We need to acknowledge, that life has obstacles that we must overcome.
