DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY 2

I re blogged Magic post yesterday partly as a self-reminder not to give power to resentments –as our thoughts  create reality

A lady moved into this village toward the end of last year who is clinically depressed

And I have noticed that she has to endure stupid remarks from mindless automatons

 telling her to get over it

cheer up

and all the other stupid remarks that I had to endure over the decades

I have had an anxiety disorder for as long as I can remember but  was almost fifty when PTSD was diagnosed:

despite spending a fortune on psychiatrists and psychologists from the early 1980’s onward.

PTSD and PND were not acknowledged in my day

So I am just going to state the following without giving my power away and consider it closure never to be mentioned again

I am listing some of my traumas and I know that anyone who has suffered trauma doesn’t judge others

                                   Being shut in the wood burning part of a wood stove when it was lit (aged four)

Being bashed regularly and for no reason because the person doing so felt like it

Being chased by someone wielding an axe

Coming to under anaesthetic unable to move or communicate because the body is “Frozen”

Coming to with the hospital bed perpendicular –severe chest pains – and told that they nearly “didn’t get me back”

Being in a two seater aircraft when the engines are cut and it was spinning downward

Being regularly punched in the face and having teeth knocked out

Being in a car accident (hit by a drunk driver) and not knowing who I was etc when I came to

Being frequently criticized by strangers for being horrible to my mother whose told lies so she would be the centre of attention

And there is more but here endeth the whinge
