PTSD and Driving OTR...?

We just sorta learn to make friends with those demons sir and do the best we can

 

See, that's what I'm saying, stuff like that does help. And suicide is a real problem. Maybe it wouldn't be so if so many people just tell them to deal with it and GTFO... grab a free bible on your way out the door.

I'm glad to hear that you have figured something out. My sister's husband lifts weights. He's getting huge.. LOL. But it helps him. He still gets night terrors (wakes up screaming) but hopefully in time that will die down.

 

Wanna bet?

 

I'm in the same boat.

 

Wanna bet what? Lol

 

Exactly right. You never really get used to it. You just learn to deal with it.
Some people have better luck with this than others.

 

Read what I quoted

 

That's right. There is a wide range of how folks will react and different things will help and individual cope better.

 

I still think about that bar brawl in Hong Kong and how single I handidly fought off several drunk sailors with a fire extinguisher. It was one of those old fashioned fire extinguishers with some type of acid mix and melted the naugahyde off the bar stools. Can't dwell on it; life must go on.
The XO bailed me out of jail; put his arm around my shoulder and treated me to a night on the town in the red light district. Cool Warrant Officer from Texas.

 

That just blew me away. Thanks for sharing, Dave.
