Hi Tea!

Firstly, welcome to our little corner of usenet. I am sorry that you
seem to qualify.

> It should have gone away or put into perspective but it
> never was, for me that is.

For me, that is also the truth.

? Another VA appointment this coming Monday. Wonder what new pills they
have in store for me this time. I have been by myself most of my life. A
private person. I no longer do drugs and don't drink. Pretty much keep
to myself when not at work. Have an easy time making friends but have
problems forming lasting relationships.
There is very little joy in my life.

Perhaps this will make some sense to you. It arrived in my inbox this
morning.

�Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your
smile can be the source of your joy.�
~Thich Nhat Hanh

Today's Affirmation
I create my own source of joy.

Today's Meditation
Dear God,
Generating my own joy in a tough situation opens me up to divine ideas
for moving through it more smoothly.
Today I will remember to smile first when I run into a difficulty.
I will keep myself in a positive, receptive state of mind.
Thank You, God, for inner joy.
Amen

Sounds to me like he had PTSD also.

They say that the truth will set us free. Thank you for sharing your truth.

Smile and there will be something to smile about!

Hi Tea,

I'm not in much shape to write any kind of substantive reply to your post
right now, but I wanted you to know that I did read it - that other people
are reading it, and that in some sense you are not alone.

It always helps me to talk about it with people who can relate.
Best to you,
