Your welcome mac. Yer mate, that damn womens intuition thing... that is scary stuff. My sister pulled it out one day, where she said to not drive from Brisbane to Melbourne because she had really sick feelings about it. Sure enough, not even outside of the Brisbane CBD... my ex-wife rolled the car with me and my son in it... a write off totally.

I would never become a counsellor or physician, because I would not tolerate the stupidity they get told during education... how to best approach someone with PTSD is not the methods they are taught... as we all know, because doctors are falling over themselves about this place in how it allows everyone to open up, something which very few off us completely do with them, thus they are always short sighted of the full picture. I think I do better trying to help others I am interested in helping, without all the side issues and nonsense that goes on. I would actually end up hitting some professor I think for listening to some of the nonsense theory that would come from their mouths, especially in regard to treating veterans. Since veterans are the largest concerning issue with PTSD in regard to getting them to help themselves because of the issues surrounding the military training we endure, we are taught to not do that and work as a team instead... and a doctor patient is not a team.

Yep... I really do just like to help others that I can relate with. It is comforting to just help one person from killing themselves.... and everyone here within this community is entitled to having that for themselves, because every single person here helps everyone else, thus constantly helping one another, and saving others lives. Just look at your own advice for cookie... that advice could well just help her to save her own life, just from learning upon your own experience. I think its a nice thing to be part off, considering all the shit we all have suffered / suffer, it is refreshing to know that everyone is here just for support. We all have crap days with PTSD.... and it is so refreshing to just have others who understand say its ok, and its alright to just have crap day / week / month, because its part of the disorder.

I like you mac... I am going to look forward to reading your experiences and chatting with you mate... thanks for getting active here... it helps.
