OK, I cross posted so I will add diet obviously effects people. It majorly effects PTSDers. Even if they are unaware. For me a lot of greens and tomatoes do wonders. I do not know why or care but I know hubby will make a ton of homemade salsa or pico to perk me up. Salads in a bag do wonders too as we just open and dump in a bowl, if radishes and the like are already cut up to add a huge plus. PTSDers can never get enough veggies even if they think they think they had their fill. From Texas it is all steak and beans but really veggies are what make me feel good (and fish). Grew up on meat and potatoes, but damn salads (sissy food) are what motivate me and get me going and perk me. I will admit I do get so overwhelmed even a bag to open is too much. I suggest stack bowls. If we get too sucked in it is all we can do to get the bowl.

All I can say is I am grateful you cannot understand that state of mind. Sadly I can but really healthy power punching foods can do a big deal of good to combat it. Every bit counts. I also suggest quiche and tuna salads with a fruit bowl out in the open always full.
