Am I Ptsi Or Ptsd

I am not good memories I am not very kind I am your history Stuck in your mind If you let me break you I must Turn your life into dust For I am your past etched into your brain I will play back again and again When you are low and cannot really think I will appear try and make you sink When I have you in my beastly net Make it harder for help to get I know your pride won't let you talk From me I know you just can't walk Because if you did you would feel shame That is why I would win this game Who am I ?  I hear you ask I'm on your face I am your mask I've had many names but I can't die My newest one is PTSI It's not just military I do this too It's anybody who let's me even you Everyone has a visit from me In times of trauma or catastrophe If this event hapoens in your time I will help you now in this rhyme You must talk about your experience Then you will grow in confidence If you are strong I cannot win All bad thoughts go in the bin A close network of friends will help with that Talking laughing having a chat Try and stay away from the pills As this could lead to just more bills Causing more stress and worry Stay strong seek help their is no hurry I will always be there to try again So again stay strong fight your pain You don't want me in your life As I said I only cause strife Signed PTSI/PTSD??

The sincerity of feeling shines out in your poems. Your caring and plain simple approach to self help is inspirational, even for those who have been lucky enough to avoid PTSD. Thank you.

Hello Gordon, It sounds to me that PTSI is a bully. A lot of people cope wit PTSD. Enjoy your day my friend. /Darlene/

Very moving poem Gordon. I suffered, maybe still do, with PTSD. It doesn't all come from involvement in conflict, though I did witness some in Aden. It can also come from how one is treated in service. That, as 'they' say, is another story. God Bless. D

This really is heartfelt, I have PMT too. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. i can only imagine, the painful memories you have things you saw. Sometimes when we fight, it can make our problems worse. Please look u NLP on youtube, if you haven't heard, it works. Wishing you best of luck, stay safe. Pete.
