For those of you who don't know me. I was engaged recently and it has sort of.. well.. ended.My friend Ashleigh; tells me I'm beautiful. Takes me out and helps me meet amazing people. When ever I say something inspirational, she's there with a sunflower in hand to tell me I did something good. I love her so much.
Throughout this break up she has been my rock. My shoulder to cry on and my new cuddly nook. My duel laughter. My cuddles in the morning, day, evening and night. My best friend the way they are in movies. She's been the stars watching me and my guardian taking care of me when I fall down. She's remarkable and smart and funny.. And I don't know what I would do without her.
So, Ashleigh. Thank you. You are an amazing friend and an even more amazing and beautiful person. I love you till the ends of the earth.
xo-xo

You forgot to mention she's also pretty good to have at your back in a shooter like Gears of War or Call of Duty. :P
I cant post on your heartbeats blog so ill just leave you a note here..
If you want to help people with PTSD then set up something with real advice and support. As a past PTSD sufferer I read what youre writting and it seems like nothing but encouragement to wollow in your trauma and ultimately just use it as a crutch. It is not a life sentance, it requires the right information and proffesional help and not someone posting about something they dont really understand or even have the retrospective to give sound advice.
To anyone who might be reading this, its not a life sentance. you can move past it with strength. you dont have to be a victim and live like that.
I understand youre trying to help celeste but i think youre sending the wrong message. you arent in a position to be giving advice to these people and i think its irresponsible.
get a proffesional to help you.
Dear recovered ptsd sufferer. My organisation promotes seeking professional help more than anything.
But the ptsd sufferers I am trying to help are ongoing trauma vitims.
The sufferers I want to reach would never tell you they're sick, they'd never ask for help, they'd never tell you what happened unless you knew them.
This is for the people who can't heal just yet. The people who's trauma will last till this abuser dies or moves on to something smaller and weaker.
Its for the men and women who never had a childhood and as adults can't function.
For us, we will never fully recover. We will never try because we can't let people know.
Ptsd victims can heal. They can move on. But this is abuse victims who're sufferers without knowing. And who may never know and who may never get help.
Thank you for your kind words. But the awareness I am trying to raise is that there are others. And we are there for you.
I'm so happy that someone has overcome ptsd. :)
celeste,
while i realise you have the best intentions, I doubt that other sufferers banding together and finding solace in joint misery is the answer, it will only perpetuate the disorder.
having the mindset that your trauma will last until your abuser "dies" is not the right message. and as for lost childhoods, and never fully recovering? youre speaking about something that should only be preached by a proffesional who has years of experience.
PTSD sufferers are fragile (especially the ones who do not know it), and theyre likely to believe what youre saying. So please think twice. Please be responsible. If youre a sufferer yourself youre not in a position to be stating such huge claims about the diseases nature. It evokes a feeling of defeatest hopelessness.
think about what youve said. do you have anything to back up what youve stated about the disease? or are you going by your own experience and in a fragile state yourself?
Alot of people use PTSD as a comfy blanket to never doing the hardwork to get on with their lives. You dont want to encourage this.
Dear ptsd sufferer,
I am not encouraging pople to wollow in misery. I'm encouraging them to get help and be happy. I know it sounds like I don't know what I'm talking about, but this is coming from talking to proffesionals. There is life after ptsd. But I'm promoting healing by living happy lives with the disorder.
I have had it for a while and try my best to be happy. But sometimes, when I am weak, its good to have people who understand your situation. I lost a lot because people were not educated about ptsd.
And I don't want it to happen to anyone else.
If you want to continue this discussion, please email me @ renndemolition@gmail.com
Best regards
Celeste
