No Cure: Ptsd

by Banana

Overview

Through my 40 years plus, I have tried every possibility to deal with PTSD. My list is long and never ending: Suicide - reading - writing - group counseling - one on one counseling - medication listen to music - puzzles - crossword - card games - some television - avoiding crowds - no cell phone - some restaurant dining - avoiding conversations having to do with war - no church - no walking - no football games - or any games with crowds - I vote absentee ballot - no parties - no dancing - accpuncture - breathing exercises - meditation - session on PTSD. Hypnosis - counting to ten - exercising - smoking - no unprescripted drugs - no alcohol - gun to protect my home - etc. As a result of PTSD: I lost six months with my daughter and wife, had nervous breakdown - lost promotions in the Postal Service due to headaches and sick leave usage - lost my managers job in the Meat Department - supervisory position - had to leave driving the school bus - couldn’t deal with inside jobs at factories. PTSD damages and controls your life as well as your family. There is no cure, as yet, for PTSD. You live the hand you are deal and pray to God for help because there is no end to PTSD.

About the Author

The author is a novice in the field of writing but was compelled to tell his story in order to help our men and women suffering from PTSD. Terry was a naive young man before he was drafted and came home as he states "in pieces" and those pieces are still together to this day. Terry has battled many days of depression and yet held onto life despite the horrible visions of experiences in Vietnam. Through all his struggles, Terry has been a caring and giving person to his peers, friends, family and co-workers. Over the years, Terry has internalized his struggles which has taken a toll on his body and caused withdrawals from his surroundings. On the surface you find a jovial person who is driven to finish what he starts and to follow through on his given word. He strives to right the wrongs he sees daily. Though he feels taken over by the effects of Vietnam. It has made him a strong character to deal with and can usually get to the heart of any issues. He never gives up!!!
