After 31 years of domestic abuse and violence, I managed to free myself and my kids. I have PTSD too, bad. Would love to read your journey, maybe it can help me too. Some days are just gonna be bad ones, impossible ones. On those days, I try and do nothing and just exist, having faith, FAITH, that it will get better. My kids help anchor me too, I live for them right now.

If you can get a service dog, or just a special dog that makes you smile and snuggles when you're in a downer, that helps. My son has an autism service dog, I've seen the power there. And I have a special little dog that is never more than 6' away from me, she makes me smile on the hardest days. I'm not a dog person, but there is something special when the right dog and the right person pair up.

I'll be praying for you every night - I lift up many in prayer, and those unnamed that God knows their needs...

If you write your journey, you will help others learn so they can help understand those with PTSD...

Joey! Good morning! I'm happy to read your update 🐕✨ Let us know about your recovery. Write when ever you need to, be sure we are holding you tight! 😉

🙏I struggle to find the right words, but I do care, and I know you can work through this. You are loved, and you are love. :)

Good Morning Joey! Please share your journey if you feel comfortable, as we are here to lift you up! I was wondering if you had heard more about the service dog, what a blessing that would be for you. I am happy to see that you are recognizing that you are not alone and you are LOVED by many! May you have a blessed day!

I understand the struggle. I too query whether to stay in this world everyday since losing my husband to death 2 months ago. I cant imagine living with this pain Every day.

Sending you love, light and big Welsh cwtches 🙏🏻

You're in my prayers constantly. I pray you do share your recovery. I can learn from you how to love my husband better. PTSD is a family thing because when one person struggles with it, everyone does. I always tease my husband when I say that he teaches me patience every day. I always prayed for more of it :). He was the answer to my prayers :). What you are doing sharing your story will help so many others. Onward and upward Joey. We are all here and have your back. GOD be with you today.
