KayJay I can also tell you that the benefits of the suggestions by the above posters are excellent and very real. Re the medication route,,,I think that there are places for medication, however through the years I have realized that, from a doctor’s point of view, there is no money to be made in a healthy person. I know that sounds negative but I do not know of a healthier way to look at that, and, I more than welcome from anyone a more positive way of saying that. My military experience has given me severe PTSD. When I first sought treatment for this from a number of doctors, I was put on medication. They had me coming back every 30 days for further evaluation. Basically they were saying, “you’re still messed up, you need to keep seeing me.” In reality the more they kept seeing “me” the more they saw $$$$. This had only masked the symptoms and didn’t address the issue directly. When I realized this many years ago, I decided to pursue a more holistic approach. A combination of different modalities of therapy had more benefits that medication could not offer. I have been, and continue to be, benefiting from hypnotherapy. Meditation is nothing short of amazing. Kriya Yoga has elevated my wellbeing and happiness to a level that I could not dream possible. All three of these continue change my life beyond my wildest imagination! When I told my doctors that I would no longer be seeking medication for my PTSD it was met with some level of “disappointment.” One doctor had the audacity to tell me I would only get worse. RIIIIIGHT. Anyway I hope you are open to the ideas the other poster’s have suggested and mine as well.
