Sometimes when we lose our way we have to have faith and let others help us find the light again. With PTSD and being hurt by others in our lives, we can very quickly lose faith in ourselves. It can be hard and we can often feel like all people are going to hurt us in some way, it sure can seem like that.

Each time we have to face something bad with PTSD it doesn't take much to feel lost, so it is important to remember the contributions we make and those that have truely benefited from our efforts and understand how we struggle. And it is also a reminder that even if we may not be perfect all that is important is that sometimes we are very important and meaningful to others and that is perfect enough.

You have to keep in mind that whatever you CAN offer may be something that another person truely needs and it isn't just the number of people, it is the few that find their way, someone who saw your little words of light and how much that little light made such a big difference.

You have had many wise words JD, and everytime I struggle in PC, I may even bump into some negetivity, I always remember what you say, some are in 8th grade, some are only in 3rd grade, no matter, it is still all about trying and working at healing one day at a time.

Sanada is right, you are an asset for support, emotional support that can make a big difference in someone elses day or path to healing.
