have you sought help for PTSD? how manageable is the disorder?

it’a great to hear that you found a therapist that fits. support following traumatic experiences is important!

my dad was in the forces for over 20 years (navy) and he often talks about the good times. but sometimes, he tells very dark stories too, and it shocks me because as far as i know he never spoke to a professional about it. he was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder a few years back that i often wonder may very well be connected to PTSD, too. over the years, it is becoming more accepted and accessible for people to see therapists and address mental health, but it wasn’t always that way for my dad’s generation. mental health really deserves more awareness…especially for men!

thank you for sharing your experience and journey :)
