PTSD Awarness Month. Response from my police service just east of Toronto... "We're aware, we just don't care". If you're suffering reach out. Always advocate for yourself. Nobody else will. #ivegotyourback911 #SickNotWeak

@parikabhatli For what its worth little trick I use when I have PTSD mornings like that is I'll bargain with myself. Tell my PTSD (yes I consider it a separate entity) we'll stay in bed this morning (or all day) but I set a time that I'm getting up and stick to it. #sicknotweak #ptsd

@Oshawa_Generals Go Gens Go!

@TheGloriousSons #TGSsecretshow The last Glorious Sons show in Toronto was the first show I was able to attend after my PTSD diagnosis. It was amazing and helped me forget some issues for a few hours! Plus tomorrow is my bday!

@theirvpub my boy has Team Ontario football tryouts at St Andrews College in Aurora. Why wouldn't I go to my fave new place b4 he hits the field at 3. The Irv at the George!

If you're at the point of making that FINAL decision, don't! Reach out ask for help! Support is out there, likely from the most unexpected places/people. I've seen the darkness but it's nothing compared to that next sunrise! #sicknotweak #ivegotyourback911 #ptsdsurvivor

Tomorrow is 9 years since I tried to end it. It's been a long road back but worth every hurdle, even the PTSD. To those of you that may be suffering I get it. I understand the hopelessness and the unwavering desire for the pain to end.

[rob @ollyrob11]

I've felt that moment of calm after making that final decision. Luckily for me it wasn't FINAL. That feeling of calm was replaced by unimaginable relief when I woke up in the hospital the next day. Things got worse before they got better but they did get better.

[rob @ollyrob11]

The desire to live will be stronger with the right help. Dont be afraid to reach out and ask for help! Belive me someone will listen and it may be someone you least expect! There's no shame in feeling the way you feel! If you don't need help, be someones help.

[rob @ollyrob11]

At that moment I decided I needed to live to help others before they made that FINAL decision because they may not be as lucky as me and it would be FINAL for them. If you are at that point I understand the desire to have it all end but remain strong!

@Phiktional @WWEBigE @h_miller76 One day at a time (its frustrating). I suffer from the same. Put in the work (it sucks). One day it'll just click. Don't know how or why it just does and it's worth it! Never goes away completely but you own it at that point. It doesn't own you.

@theirvpub Amazing second location The Irv at the George! Food is exactly what I was expecting after numerous trips to your TO location and the beer to match. Worth the drive from Oshawa! Congrats!

@heatherbrownIG Exactly. You have depression & anxiety, they don't have you #SickNotWeak

[rob @ollyrob11]

someone else who's struggling.
If you need help, get help
If you don't need help, be help. #SickNotWeak #ivegotyourback911 #PTSD #neveralone

Me and my PTSD
I've heard the rumblings and the rumours. They don't bother me because I know the truth but for someone else who hasn't realised why they are struggling it may cause them to keep quiet and not seek help. Not acceptable.
Yes I'm off work and yes I still do things

[rob @ollyrob11]

I'm getting better but it still sucks. So yes I am off work and yes I still go out because if I didn't I wouldn't have a hope in hell of getting better. I put these posts out there in hope that someone reads it and either gets help or helps them understand
