It is good that you will be away and doing fun things in the now.

Did you watch that video I posted? Take time to watch it and make it a point to get the vitamins he talks about, I have to do that myself.

PTSD is notorious for not being hungry or being hungry for the wrong things. You will need to learn how to eat the things that benefit your chemical balance as well as feed your muscles with proteins too.

If you think about it, if a person is going to "flight" which means a cortisol build up then that person will not have an appitite.

As far as your fear of trusting is concerned when it comes to males, there are signs you can learn that are danger signs which will help you identify potential risks. The risk increases with women as they get to be certain ages, not your fault. Also, there are things you can learn "not" to do around men that invite/attract the wrong kind of men to you. Women who are shy and run away often attract a man who is more aggressive. Also you have to learn to be careful about sharing your weaknesses/challenges with a man too. Women often desire a strong protector type, but that is not always what the woman gets because they fall into a trap that an agressive male sets. It is just a matter of understanding the nature of the beast.

Go and have a nice weekend, make sure you stop and eat some healthy things too.
