What are you doing about horrendous PTSD (besides collecting in it)?

If I told you how to fix it, would you? Unlike the physical therapy you avoid, it costs taxpayers nothing.

Check your cortisol. Don’t let doc tell you “normal”. Check the number. Find natural means to get that number into the optimal range. Tell me if PTSD is still “horrendous” or just some quick reflexes and smart instincts.

PTSD saved my sweet bippy AGAIN two years ago. I don’t think it’s “horrendous” and I’ve never felt sorry for myself. Even when I was so depressed I didn’t think I’d see fifty I knew I became such a pain in the ass doing what was right and doing what (and whom!) I loved.

It’s only shitstorm when you deplete cortisol. Keep cortisol optimal and you get back control over arousal. There’s a lot you can do alone (without therapist or doctors).

Women with PTSD get low progesterone in midlife. It makes us whiny. Thirty dollars a month for a good progesterone replacement..

Post traumatic stress changes are very real. It’s called growing up. The world is not safe and adults aren’t meant to believe it is. I don’t know about you, but men without the reflexes and hypervigilance, men who still fear death, seem awfully boyish to me. PTSD is just adulthood with hormone imbalance. It’s not “horrendous” ffs, to know about life.

I begged and cried and raged and bullied trying to get ptsd treatment out of publicly funded sources. This was in a good liberal state. Same situation in Nebraska or Missouri gets folks zombies up real quick. They don’t care about your life. Their job is to sort you as gonna get free shot and not gonna get free shit. They turn on a dime, too. One day they are refusing to do their fucking job because they think you have hidden riches but still want free shit and the next day they’ve changed your tune and you are the noble and worthy exception to the rule. You still don’t get good treatment for PTSD.

Keep the free shit if you enjoy it. I don’t care if you get free shit.

I get mad hearing about “horrendous” PTSD eating up women’s lives. It’s cortisol and progesterone. You may always have a wonky HPA but you don’t have to be crippled by it.

No o e has to be crippled by PTSD. Fix your cortisol and ptsd is contained.
