PTSD And Ways To Deal With It.

**SwampFox4388** · April 19th, 2015

Hey guys,

thought about starting a tread where if there are any Vets with PTSD we can discuss ways we have found to deal with it. Dont know how many are out there but here at least we all have a few things in common.
Im not talking about drinking it away or shit like that but actual productive ways. Please feel free to share.

For me riding my harley and playing airsoft have helped alot.

I see 15 people have viewed and no replies? this leads to me think one of two things.
1....no vets that have issues have read it
or
2....nobody thought it applied to them.

to this i will say horseshit.

Ball is in your court gentlemen

Wrong button, my bad. As I was saying, I'm not from the same walk of life, though I've seen and been though some shitty things.

When it seems like I'm going to be having a bad day I make it a point to find the ugliest piece of scrap in my shop, I heat that mother to white hot, and I hammer the absolute piss out of it, until I'm tired.

Once that's out of the way I turn it into the coolest thing I can think of to make it. When its finished I throw it away, and say to myself, "From ugly, to beautiful, forged in fire and stressed to the limit; positive things can come; however, in the end, being able to let go matters most."

you dont have to be a combat vet to have seen shit and have lasting effects from it. Everybody has been through shit and come out the other side. I have never tried working with metal. Would love to try it some day though.
