Glad I could bring some laughs to the forum. Thinking about the question of how to get the motivation to overcome this made me think that maybe we need prototypical football coach type of guys (rugby coach in your case PTSD) to follow each of us around 24/7 and yell slogans at us to get us pumped up and motivated to change. Like we'd be working up the courage to go to the grocery store to buy some microwave meals and a big meathead guy would be next to us screaming "go big or go home you pansy!" or "come on, nancy boy, get your head in the game!". Then if that doesn't work the next step is having a military type guy impersonating R Lee Ermey's drill sergeant character from Full Metal Jacket follow you around.

Merry Christmas to you too PTSD!

Red Panda: then you'll want to stay tuned for my next post, where I plan to use "home slice", "psyche!" and describe myself as "hella avoidant"
