PTSD is a very real problem. When people
Hear those letters, they most often think of our
Military veterans trying to adjust to civilian
Life, and having difficulties due to their tours.
Any little thing can send them into flashbacks
Of being in battle, and the horrors that they saw.
The VA is trying to get help for these veterans before
It's too late, and by their own hand are gone.
Other people suffer from PTSD too. From domestic
Violence, sexual abuse, and even verbal and emotional abuse.
The connecting factor between the vets and these others,
Is they all suffered severe trauma they can't shake loose.
Some feel useless, stupid and depressed. Some feel unclean
Or ashamed thinking things are their fault. NOT TRUE!
But they do withdraw from society and don't trust people or
Have many friends. Family says it's past, get over it. Not easy to do
Nowhere to go, no one to talk to, you're called a whiner,
Or told to stop playing the victim--no real help at all.
The only one who listens and understands is God our Father.
He's been with you and brought you through it all.
