Sufferer The Struggle Of Healing

[Lawrence7685]

Hi everybody I'm 31/yrs. old been struggling with PTSD my entire life 3.5 years ago I was educated on it and that was enlightening but after that the true battle began I am absolutely frustrated with hypervigilance and spend my days trying to calm down just trying to find this elusive thing called peace I am absolutely wore out so that is why I am here because I need to talk to people that can relate not many other people understand it feels like I am on an island but happy to be here and am excited to get involved.

Searching for peace also. I just take life in very small bites, one day at a time. That's the best I can do. Best of luck to you.

@Lawrence7685 Welcome to the forum! :)

It is hard for people to understand how exhausting just getting through the day is when your body is running on adrenaline. There are some great threads and posts on hypervigalence that you may find helpful. Personally, I've found mindfulness, regular exercise and yoga good for helping with this.

I appreciate the advice I met with my counselor the other day and he is one of the people that I actually trust and am beginning to feel safe with I am opening up to him a little when I do this my first I clination is to draw back because even though it is good my mind doubts that anything is good and all things are threats but its good to see that oh how I long for the days when my head and heart are on the same team those days are coming soon I cannot give up I must keep on fighting because good things come to those who are patient.
