PTSD Patrol Sing Your Victory Song!

PTSD Patrol

Yesterday I had a mental health day and we went to a lake in Maine to spend some time with friends. I needed it! It will happen from time to time. 

This morning my buddy Gunny sent me a text with a couple  of song suggestions and when I saw this one, it fit perfectly for the way I was feeling.

That is why today's featured video is the Eagles I'm Already Gone, because I said that to depression yesterday and it is fitting when you are healing PTSD....now you can say that too with "I'm feeling strong and I will sing this victory song!" #BreakTheSilence and #TakeBackYourLife from #PTSD

Now, you can think of this as a goodbye song to a person or take a lot of parts of it and substitute it with PTSD!

"I'm already gone....feeling strong!"

Lyrics

Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day

And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf

But let me tell you I got some news for you

And you'll soon find out it's true

And then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself

'Cause I'm already gone

And I'm feelin' strong

I will sing this vict'ry song

Woo hoo hoo, my my, woo hoo hoo

The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why

But I guess you felt like you had to set things right

Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky

You can see the stars and still not see the light (that's right)

And I'm already gone

And I'm feelin' strong

I will sing this vict'ry song

Woo hoo hoo, my my, woo hoo hoo

Well, I know it wasn't you who held me down

Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free

So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains

And we never even know we have the key

But me, I'm already gone

And I'm feelin' strong

I will sing this vict'ry song

'Cause I'm already gone

Yes, I'm already gone

And I'm feelin' strong

I will sing this vict'ry song

'Cause I'm already gone

Yes, I'm already gone

Already gone

All right, nighty-night

Already gone
