So I was told I had PTSD really bad by my college psychiatrist. I don't know how I felt about that.
I cannot take any meds accept a low, low dose of klonopin and that is only when I really, really need it.
My story is more rare for psych meds. I have heard far more stories of meds helping.
Also, don't under estimate the power of therapy. DBT is amazing for getting your life back.
Marsha Linehan is the creator of DBT.
Before she created this widely successful therapy, she was in a mental ward. A mental ward with no windows.
She got out and then created DBT.
So, my point is that you can use ALL the shit you have been through as a strength, as a motivator.
You have a lot of rage.
Recognize that there is actually a lot of strength in anger.
They have not beaten you down.
You are a survivor.
Find the strength in your anger.
Learn how to manage that anger though so you do not hurt others.
I wish I could feel anger. That is one of the emotions I struggle to feel.
Kick boxing is great. Do more of that. Also, check out yoga.
