How old would you be if you weren't smack in the middle of nowhere? sigh sorry.

"giving up" is a coping mechanism...

You can check at the APA website for PTSD trained psychologists, I think. I'm sure there are plenty in LA! Good hunting... it's worth it...you're worth it.

PTSD doesn't go away, and it doesn't get better over time. PTSD doesn't let us match up logic with our feelings... ugh did I say that?

(((hugs)))
