My friend, I have gone thru some of the same things and it will get better but with help. I had to talk with someone to get my life back on track. I'm sure you will as well. If you ever need to talk, just hit me up.

SGT Aaron Olivas. Sometimes it is worth an good solid physical with blood tests to see if there may be anything medically going on (e.g. thyroid problems) may be affecting you. Assuming there are no obvious medical issues sometimes worth working with a counselor and doctor to see if maybe you may be depressed . . . and medication may help to provide little lift. Certainly . . . as mentioned by several others . . . a dog, good social relationship, or a class can be helpful just having a good solid reason to get out of the house, into the sunshine, and more activities.

For myself . . . getting up at the crack of dawn for a good run, workout in the gym, or sharing other activities with other active people . . . helps to keep my spirits up . . . and body fit and trim.

By the way community gyms sponsored by local government council can be very inexpensive . . . like $200 or so a year for the entire family vs $200 a month per family member for a commercial gym.

Warmest Regards, Sandy

Thanks k you for bringing up the blood work, when I went to a PTSD clinic last year they pulled my blood and said my levels for tried and so on looked good. As far as Gym routine I'm currently working on the social aspect of the Gym, just hard for me to stay in one place for a bit and to stay long. Been working hard on putting myself in what I would call uncomfortable situations to get used to the emotional aspects of my tiggers. I just Can't wait to be completely comfortable again and gi to the Gym , walks , Runs, climbing, sky diving, anything besides this house..lol
