Good late afternoon from the Underground Bunker here in Upstate New York. It's November 22, 2011 and just got an alert on my Android cell phone for freezing rain for tomorrow starting at 5am-7pm. I hope that is not the case. In my opinion freezing rain is more dangerous than snow. Those who drive in freezing rain probably would agree with that statement.
Today was gloomy wet day. We had that misty rain this morning and it was cold. I don't mind the cold if the sun is bright and shining. This cold and damp weather hurts my bones. Oh well nothing I can do about it. I must keep it moving! I was told a long time ago pain is weakness leaving the body....it sounds logical but when does the weakness run out?
My body is tired, my mind is tired...I'm tired. The War Stories never seem to stop playing in my mind. For those who went to war whether it was over seas or even here in the states you should be heard and taken seriously. To the soldier that dealt with world problems or a domestic soldier (police officer) that has to deal with the problems that no one else wants to deal with if you feel stress or hurt inside seek help for your pain.
Because of The War Stories it's hard to sleep at night. I know what happens at night. Bad things happen at night. I had to deal with so many horrible events in my career and now that it is suddenly over I feel that I am waiting for something terrible to happen. I have no idea why I feel this way. Anxiety is tough to deal with. I guess writing is therapy for me. When will it stop? I don't know... Because of this I write at night. It takes my mind off the War Stories.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is something that is real and happens to people who deal with the Traumatic events. Don't be ashamed or think something is wrong with the way you are feeling. It happens to the toughest people on the planet. This feeling creeps up on you and takes over your life. Sometimes people who suffer from PTSD may appear happy to others. People with this problem try to hide or mask their true feelings because they know something is wrong. That's why it's a total shock to some people when a friend or acquaintance commits suicide. The happiness is sometimes a front to block the pain and sorrow you feel. You try to convince yourself that you are happy but this is where the problem lies. You feel that you don't want to be looked at like a problem or worse to have your emotions doubted and scrutinized. You must confront it and get help your life depends on it!
Like always thank you for reading my Blog and if you know someone that has dealt with a painful and shocking event in their lives make sure to really find out if they are OK. Let them know that if they need help they can come to you. Stay Smart and Stay Safe! --Blogger X
