Atleast your remembering your dreams, which is far better than not remembering, even though you may not think so now. Dreaming means that that particular issue / trauma is on your mind, thus it gives you something to focus upon for hitting first, then as more things appear, hit them head on, until basically you don't dream about traumatic events / experiences anymore, and when dreaming, you think quite normally about what your going to do tomorrow, or an event that is coming up, instead of all the terrible stuff.

Well, today... another great day, feeling funky, fit and healthy, bursting with energy. Things are all pretty good in life for me. Booked in for the State of Origin (NSW vs. QLD) rugby league here in Melbourne early July, so looking forward to that. We have some tickets for other big events coming up, so that is also great to look forward too. Gonna get some tickets to the AFL soon and go to a few games, which is great, even with a 100,000 people attendance in most games, the atmosphere is nothing short of brilliant.

If you remember, I actually have PTSD, and I live a pretty normal life now, though I still don't work as such, because that would be an unneccesary stressor that would just put me back to square one at this stage. I believe I will be able to work again though next year, something small and part-time to just help me get back into the normal life routine without taking on the abundance of stress.

Yes, you too can do this. It takes a few years, but most certainly can be done. Upset the balance to early, it will fail. Think you can live in denial forever and not face your trauma, it will fail. Think you can expose yourself to high levels of stress or re-experiencing situation, it will fail.

Education has gotten me to where I am now, and lots of it, with time as a combining factor to absorb and apply the learnt tools and techniques. Will I still have bad days, weeks and months even? Most certainly... But I am more good now than terrible throughts, feelings and physical let down.

Get cracking people, you can do this and get past the worst of it.

I thought I would just add that bit for a little inspiration, not for self importance, but to demonstrate it can be done, and how it is done. For those still tip toeing around your trauma, think long and hard about it. For the small amount of time you will hurt physically and mentally fighting your trauma/s head on, the outcome far surpasses the work required.

Get cracking...
