determining who you are is an organic process. it's bound not to be simple, and PTSD wouldn't make it simpler. as long as it is working progress, though, you're on your way.
what is the scary thing you have to do?
also, perhaps finding a friend to have a beer and lose a filter with may help. a little bit unfiltered bombast may be cathartic. ( just not rycheck; you guys will probably get drunk and make out or something. ;) )
I just feel like... a child, at times. I guess I am a child at times. I don't like being a child. I didn't like being a child when I WAS a child, I certainly don't like it now. I feel overwhelmed, I feel panicked, and my flight mode is kicking in. I don't usually experience flight OR fight mode...
And my thoughts are jumbled, so I apologize if my reply is unfocused ^^
I guess to say I HAVE to do something that scares me is not quite accurate. I feel I owe it to my collective self to do something I find daunting. I'm not exactly in a position in which I can safely share everything going on in my head, unfortunately :( Not on anything that can be tracked, anyway. Wee.
There's really no telling what might happen if I drink while I'm on Prozac ^^
Everyone is daunted and overwhelmed at times. Personally, I find it calming to make sure I'm taking care of business, however small a step it is. As long as I'm doing something about whatever is causing a problem, I feel like it's just a matter of method before it's all sorted out.
Just think. What do you need to do? If it's a step that too big, break it down into smaller steps, and keep breaking it down until the steps are individually manageable, and then take care of it.
Worried about being tracked? Why, that is PTSD. ;) [not trying to make light of it. well. technically i am. but it's to get a smile out] are you ex-enlisted or something like that?
Had my suspicions, but I didn't think enlisted would be out of the question with the mention of PTSD, tracking, and flight or fight. Unfortunate things people do to one another, which is a staggering understatement. I've known a few friends with similar experiences. Almost married one, in fact.
