As a 36-year-old woman dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder, it can feel like an uphill battle some days. The memories, the anxiety, the feeling of being disconnected from the world - it can all be so overwhelming. But through therapy and support from loved ones, I’ve come to realize that there are moments of peace within the chaos. Whether it’s through meditation, journaling, or simply taking a walk in nature, finding those little moments of calm can make a world of difference. It’s not about erasing the memories or pretending everything is okay, but rather finding ways to coexist with the pain and still find joy in life. So to anyone else struggling with PTSD, know that you are not alone and that there is hope for finding peace within yourself.
