Camp Fire .....

OK. I've used this analogy before.
Imagine a camp fire out on the prairie/desert/plains.
This is this site. A flame in the emptiness.
Attracts, quite rightly, a lot of troubled wanderers.
A lot of them sit at the edge of the fire-light. Us chatty buggers who fill this space provide the talk round the camp-fire.
Right now I'm looking away from the flames, over my shoulder.
I see a lot of faces on the edge of the light.

Just say hello. No need to get involved in the fire-side chat, but welcome to you.
 
Awesome Ned.

I can see a lot of faces too, some of them don't know whether to venture forward any further as they feel there might not be room around the fire, or feel they might not fit in.

Be assured, all veterans from all services have a place at the fire. The only rules are that you be a veteran, and have PTSD.

Promise we won't bite.
 
OK, the fire's still burning lads & lasses. All you need to do is step forward and say 'Hello'.

Hope you do, nothing more needed.
 
I would also say that you are needed. Come on into this site and introduce yourself. Make some friends who have similar issues and understand that this is a safe place to come express your feelings and to learn more about how to cope, how to regain control and deal with the rage/anger. No judgments about your pain and suffering. We all have the same issues and can relate. It can be difficult to come in here I know. But you will be glad you did once you try.
 
Someone throw another log on, its a bit nippy this morning

Nicely put! I'm glad that I took
the step!
