Ptsd

P.T.S.D. Pain is a close companion, Obsessive compulsion an annoying friend, Self-loathing is an acquaintance, Trust issues never end. Terror always lingers, Revulsion follows close behind, Anxiety is a regular guest, Unfortunate thoughts throughout the mind. Morbid anticipation in abundance Abhorrent visions from times gone by, Tormented by the memories, Inopportune moments to cry. Creeping into the darkness, Storing feelings away, Talking helps occasionally, Remembering hurts every day. Ever present episodes of anger, Swallowing you up inside, Silently fighting the battle, Demons difficult to hide. Ignorance from others, Support from those that care, Over bearing emotions, Reaching for something, somewhere. Don't give up, it will be worth it once you win, Express each emotion, from the power within. Realisation and understanding of the warriors that fight this invisible battle every day, will support and help them know that there is someone out there to hold their hands during the bad days and laugh with them through the good!

OH my word! You have shown people the truth about PTSD with such incredible writing! I know all about it and this is a 7 as some people say in here (as I am new). But just perfect! :)

OH Heidi. Thank you once again for your comments. I get rather passionate about this subject. I haven't been a warrior, however I know people who have and still are. It's my way of supporting them. Welcome to the group. I haven't been a member that long myself. Hugs :-)
