You can break through to the other side of PTSD

It seems as if the stigma of PTSD is still being passed on to the point where veterans still do not understand it.
You are limited by what you imagine to be true instead of encouraged by what you imagine to be possible.
Imagine having a happier life! That is possible.
Imagine being able to overcome all the negative thoughts you have and replace them with achievable goals.
It takes work but that work will only begin when you understand what PTSD is.
Post means after.
Trauma means wound.
Stress comes after surviving the shock of what happened.
Disorder comes when your mind and body are trying to adjust afterwards.
Any shame in surviving something that could have killed you?
No one walks away from that kind of trauma unchanged. The secret is, that you can change again. YEP! You are only stuck where you are because no one told you that you are in control over where you go.
Just like getting into the vehicle you drive, (or getting on if you have a motorcycle) you control where you go from this point on.
You chose the destination and how you get there.
#BreakTheSilence comes when you are able to finally figure out that there is nothing within you that caused PTSD. IT HIT YOU! Any shame in being hit by a bullet? Any shame in getting blown up by a bomb? NOPE!
Time to stop finding all the excuses for using your right to remain silent because all that does is keep you suffering instead of healing.
Let's put it this way. Would I still be doing this after 37 years if I was ashamed of any of you?
I have seen the dark side of PTSD and if that was all I saw, I would have given up on all of you a long time ago. What keeps me going is seeing the smile on your face and life back into your eyes when you break through to the other side of PTSD.
We need to stop talking about PTSD the wrong way, and start talking about what it is. Teach how to break through to the other side of suffering...to healing! Yes, you can heal PTSD if you are willing to work at it. That begins when you #BreakTheSilence and do the work to #TakeBackYourLife
Lyrics
You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run, tried to hide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Chased our plea here
Dug our treasures there
Still recall, time we cried
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through, yeah
All right
Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby
She get
She get
She get
She get high
I found an island in your arms
Country in your eyes
Arms that chain us, eyes that lie
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through, yeah
All right
Yeah, made the scene
Week to week
Day to day
Hour to hour
The gate is straight
Deep and wide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through
Break on through
Break on through
Break on through
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
