You Matter!!! (ptsd)

I've struggled with this feeling of worthlessness on and off for years.  I get out of it by distracting myself with focusing on other things like work or family or friends.  Sometimes that makes it worse but eventually it gets better.  Being a PTSD survivor myself, I can tell you that I don't have all of the answers.  In fact, I am still seeking most of them for myself.  What I have been able to do is be there for others and that's what I've always been good at.... helping others.  There is a disconnect when it comes to personal issues though.  I also have a Traumatic Brain Injury and there is a severe disconnect with that issue and it's been perplexing to even the best experts in this field of expertise.  That's why I'm here on Steemit.  I want to raise awareness about invisible disabilities by sharing my story.  Hopefully it will impact those living with them, as well as, those family or friends who know someone or will know someone living with them.  


I believe I'm finally starting to find the balance and what I should focus on in these posts.  I don't have to relive and retell my stories every day.  I can simply reach out to whoever is interested and let them ... I need to let you know that you matter because, I do too.  We need to be there for each other.  Not just as PTSD survivors but as human beings.  Even people who don't have PTSD.  We as a people are stronger together.  That's what matters and YOU are a big part of that.  Thank you so much for reading and sharing this post.  Thank you so much for helping me raise awareness for invisible disabilities and thank you for sharing your stories.
