I am not so sure where your post is going or where it has been....My 2 cents are like this....JMO

PTSD......Strips us of who were were. Who we should have been. It has turned our world upside down, inside out, and put us on a merry-go-round that seems like it will never stop. Someone pull the plug.....

We can never gain back what we have lost. The old saying....Don't cry over spilled milk.....In my opinion, we clean up the milk, the stain(trauma & PTSD) on the carpet will always be there to remind us, but eventually we can walk right over that stain, and not worry that the end of the world has come. We learn that our world is just a little different now, but we do adjust.

We learn to adapt to the "new" person that has emerge, we are grateful to be alive.

At this time in my life.....I don't have goals and dreams either. I am grateful for the things that I have in my life now. My health, my mental health, good friends, a job........I don't ask for much, I don't want for much. I lived my life under the rule of dysfunction.......I now have contentment, and peace......This is what my world is now, and I am damn grateful I have it.......


Hodge, if you feel that your life is happy and contented. Tell your therapist what you want out of life, if he or she keeps pushing. Then maybe it's time for a change.........JMO
