Madness, Insanity & The World Wide Web

people have little idea just how moody members can become here

On behalf of the non repentant members, I offer my sincerest apologies and a clip over the ear to a person of your choice.

I know I've seen some bullshit occasionally, but I reckon if we ever had a sneak peek at your (and staff's) inbox full of abuse, we'd be hiding under our beds in shame.

I'm really glad your endeavours are showing fruition, I know you really do bust your ass and I'm sure the hamsters in your head are super ripped from the workout you give them!

Pat on the back is all I can really offer.....provided you see it coming, are ok with it, and therefore don't deck me!
 
I'm getting a little over PTSD right now. The last few weeks have been a bit bumpy for me. Nothing to do, its just PTSD... nothing underlying, no issues, just PTSD being PTSD and having to manage it. Running, riding, resting, sleeping, staying as stress free as possible, but its still kicking my arse at the moment. Staying as busy as I can, within limits, and it keeps on coming. That is the annoying part of this nonsense at times... when PTSD decides to just kick my arse for no real reason. Silly stuff it is.

Have to go find a good book to read I think...
 
Running with the morning sun straight in my face... just prior to 5km's... argh!!! Talk about trying to runs and squint all at the same time.

Caught up with a mate I haven't seen in a decade, today. Was excellent to catchup, meet his wife and have a chat and coffee. It was a little sad to discover what has become of some of the guys I served with... and another's wife who committed suicide. Something like over 100 ex-Australian vets suicides this year alone... a very scary number, let alone any at all.

PTSD is such a nightmare of a problem... and it upsets me to see all this money thrown at idiotic ideas and such, instead of at proven strategies and techniques that are proven to work, even if they only work to some level of reduction with a minority, that is better than nothing.
 
Yesterday was not a great day. I woke up feeling like crap... had a headache and felt like tossing myself off of the tallest building. So I got showered, dressed and got the hell out of the house and kept myself busy. I walked, walked and walked, shopping, looking, just keeping myself occupied until the shitty thoughts went away. They did, as they always do... and then I kept busy with cooking dinner and tidying up. Wokeup this morning, feel great. Went for a run, cleaned the house, and now going to the shops for dinner stuff to have some friends over for dinner and some Xbox Sports gaming.

PTSD just sucks some days. It is rare I have days like that, though I had one yesterday, and it sucked.
