Ptsd My Curse, My Blessing

[Tinyflame]

I think it is a real blessing for people now who can get help earlier, it could really change their lives (I would say 'salvage', but I don't mean it in an offensive sense- just that knowledge & treatments are so different from 20 or 30 years ago, but when people are just starting out or have the most options of choice available). I think there's the potential for a really full & bright future for many. :)

I'm with the OP on this. At the point that I am in my recovery I can see how I have learned to listen to my thoughts and feelings better instead of just stuffing them away, and being more intune with myself. But then there is all the crappy stuff so in my personal opinion the bad out weights the good and I wouldn't choose it but there is the silver lining to almost everything you just have to look for it.

PTSD is my "adversity"... and into each life is some adversity. How I manage/or don't is up to me. Plain and simple.
