How do you actually DO that? Believe me, I don't LIKE thinking about all of this stuff 24/7, it just "pops into my mind" against my will. |
Yeah I don't entirely get it either....I mean one of the major issues with PTSD is it is a disorder that hampers your ability to 'let it go'. I have tried a few times to just 'let it go' but it didn't work because of how PTSD has effected my brain.
Also I don't willingly dwell in the past, or see PTSD symptoms as an 'excuse' not to move on in life....I see it as a very real thing that makes it very hard to move on with life and its nothing to do with not trying hard enough to get over it. Not to mention sometimes one can find themselves further traumatized if they delve into it too quick. But honestly if it was as simple as making up ones mind to let it go.....I think I'd be over it, and what is the point of all the therapy/treatment if all you gotta do is make up your mind to let it go?
