Yes I do believe that martial arts training has assisted me in someway, I just need to find that part of me again. I know there are so many more out there some on this forum who suffer so much more than I do with the PTSD, and I would never wish this affliction on ANYONE. Each day does bring some steps forward, and then again some steps back. What I am trying to work towards is the forward motion with no backward slides that is the hard part. That is why I am so very glad I found this forum to share to whine when I have to and to offer and get support when I need it.
