PTSD/Do Something For Someone Else

Recap: confess you have a problem, don't be afraid of labels, seek your inner strength, find a qualified person to help, be willing to go to the dark hidden place, find a support person, call on God, write, write, write, and now do something for someone else.
This might sound kind of strange in light of what we have been talking about. We need to stay focused on the mission ahead which is concurring PTSD but it can wipe you totally out if you don't get some kind of balance. Sometimes we have to step outside ourselves. There are people you come in contact with that needs only what you can give. I don't mean money nor necessarily emotional energy but just a smile when you pass or an encouraging word. We never know how much it means to someone by doing the simple things that we do every day without a thought, the things that make you really you. We should not do something for someone else to be noticed but because we care.  It makes that person feel special we all like that feeling. It also shows to you that you do make a difference.  When you give to someone else it helps you to regroup. Then when you go back to the place that you would rather not travel you will be ready to push on. Keep in mind that
everyone has their own journey to travel. Be a light to them as others have been a light to you. You are loved and so are they.
