PTSD Wants to Kill You
PTSD seeks to kill those whom it afflicts. It seeks to take formerly vibrant human beings and transform them into the Undead until it can kill them flat outright. Whether a person suffers PTSD from combat, rape, a natural disaster such as Katrina, or some other trauma, they now live with a new threat that seeks to take their life.
It does this by wounding our souls. Many of us with PTSD end up killing ourselves fast or slow. The fast cases are pretty obvious. Slow cases of PTSD suicide comes from drug abuse, alchoholism, and cumualitive neglect from the rest of the country. As this blog and my professional writing grow I will mention more about these in detail.
Regardless of how any of us feel about the current wars, PTSD is a confirmed result. It is not retreat, disloyalty, or cowardice to acknowledge that trauma affects human beings. It is simply realism. Regardless of where we stand, saving the lifes of trauma surviors and their families should be an easy priority.
Untreated severe PTSD kills its victim. My goal is to help increase PTSD awareness and to offer some spiritual advice. Just because someone has PTSD and has been neglelcted by self and/or others up till now is no cause for despair. That life can be saved. That life has value. That life has too much value for us to allow PTSD to consume it.
