@PTSDchat_ My artwork helps me reset... going out in nature and taking pictures helps me reset...
I look forward each week of doing some artwork

[#PTSDchat @PTSDchat_]

@BMajorFC How does doing the art for the #ptsdchat affect you? You have so many beautiful pics and helpful thoughts. #ptsdchat

[Bill Major @BMajorFC]

@PTSDchat_ I am doing okay.. finally rejoined x lol ...

[Bill Major @BMajorFC]

@PTSDchat_ good evening

[Bill Major @BMajorFC]

@PTSDchat_ I am glad to have people I can share, learn from.. and have your support!!

[Bill Major @BMajorFC]

@PTSDchat_ my program helps slow my mind down.. it helps accept the thank you… it doesn’t mean it’s always too

[Bill Major @BMajorFC]

@PTSDchat_ when I don’t I blame me.. many times it’s out of my control.. I like control …

[Bill Major @BMajorFC]

@PTSDchat_ I can understand struggling with people thanking you for your service and not feeling you deserve it for many reasons. But you do need to be thanked. We have to find a way to accept it. We sometimes at me think I can save everyone which is not true. But I believe I can

[Bill Major @BMajorFC]

@PTSDchat_ those are times I reach for help…

[Bill Major @BMajorFC]

@PTSDchat_ those thoughts scare me for sure… times my mind won’t slow down… I have learned to admit those times

[Bill Major @BMajorFC]

@PTSDchat_ I still struggle even with what I think is a strong program … I have my dark days… by sharing with close friends they help hold me accountable… I hold me accountable.. I also at times get scared and wonder am I strong enough to keep working

[Bill Major @BMajorFC]

@PTSDchat_ another great tool is being a part of support group like this one. It makes me realize I am not alone

[Bill Major @BMajorFC]

@PTSDchat_ I spent 40 plus years not working my program… the last 8 have been … not always easy for sure.. but the last 8 have taught me the reasons why I need to … it’s taught me the reasons the first 40 didn’t work out so well

[Bill Major @BMajorFC]

@PTSDchat_ I use my own experiences about me when sharing with someone.. and I remind people everyone journey is their own and not to judge theirs against mine

[Bill Major @BMajorFC]

@PTSDchat_ one of the things that has been a help for me is talking about mental health in general and the need to respect it, the need to not minimize it.

[Bill Major @BMajorFC]

@PTSDchat_ first I have to work my program everyday … good and bad days.. 2nd I have to accept myself for the good and things I don’t like

[Bill Major @BMajorFC]

@PTSDchat_ you feel vulnerable at first.. well each time but you also get to see the positives.. and I have to remember I am opening first to help me heal
