Hello, Folks. I am Daniel. I am a burn survivor with emphysema, COPD, and unfortunately, PTSD. I have been in denial of this one simple fact for a long time now, although diagosed with such nearly eight years ago.
I have endured so many traumas that to list them all would take more time and attention span from you folks than I could possibly expect. Suffice to say that I have lost nearly every friend, relationships, and even my oldest daughter. Not all due to the symptoms of PTSD, but mainly because of the changes in me that I don't understand, nor does anyone else.
I guess that's why I am here. Just to have someone understand without judging, and having been there and done that, or having others expectations demanded of me.
I don't want to make this too long, so I will just say "Hi" to everyone, and wish each and every one of us a good stress-free day and some semblence of happiness.
To all the good mothers out there, Happy Mother's Day!
Daniel
