I understand , I work with a therapist who uses grounding which help me stay in the present as much as possible. I am still at risk for flashbacks and triggers.
I have worked as a Certified Recovery Peer Specialist in Mental health for Adults here in Florida. I worked 2 years and then had to stop as my symptoms were gradually getting worse but I would like to return to being a peer specialist when we become medicaid billable . I would like to work as a fill in peer specialist so I could get the time off when I needed it.
There are times when my body is just tired. I was married for six years my husband tried to help me as much as possible and then he passed away in 2005. I rely on prayer and try to stay tied to my church family. I sing in the choir and I plan being on a Recovery Resiliency task force which is a community group made up of peer specialists and consummers.
I do understand PTSD quite well.
I feel for those who have the chronic kind.
