Sharing Is Caring ♡

There’s something to be said about motivational and inspirational quotes. Precisely, PTSD quotes that bring a positive way of thinking.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Remission

More importantly, recognizing the power of positivity that PTSD quotes have over our thought processes. Seriously, we can be in a bad way, to the point where we can convince ourselves of the worst things possible. In the same way, we can convince ourselves of the ultimate most wonderful things. The choice is ours.

Dedication of Reading PTSD Quotes

Initially, it takes some dedication and practice to learn the skill of turning that switch and changing your train of thought in a matter of seconds. When we are faced with life’s adversities and challenges, no matter how big or small, stress and anxiety nestle right down inside of us. And, if we dwell on it, the anxiety can overwhelm our mind and body to the point of creating a prison for ourselves.

Then, throw in a mental illness. That’s when anxiety can seem a lot louder than it really is. Of course it’s hard to ignore. Especially if we continue to dwell in that head space, which only amplifies the negativity. When anxiety is charged with amplification, it may easily evolve into a slew of PTSD symptoms. And if not addressed cognitively we find ourselves spiraling into the abyss of a PTSD episode.

PTSD Episodes and Symptoms

If you experience anything like me and my husband, a PTSD episode can inevitable last for several hours. Even days. There have been countless nights of falling asleep (if at all) only to wake up in the same PTSD episode that was believed to have ceased when sleep was possible. There is a lot more to PTSD and episodes than simply symptoms. There are the triggers, and then, of course, the residual symptoms. Now, PTSD residual symptoms are what my husband vote as the worst part the entire experience. But one noticeable thing is that the longer one goes through therapy, practices what they are taught, applies self-support activities, then the shorter the episodes become.

More importantly, the less intense any and all of the symptoms end up being. Specifically, one of the most helpful self-support activities that both of us implement, almost daily, are reading several positive PTSD quotes. Then, even more meaningful, sharing the best ones with each other not only brings another sense of connecting on a deeper level, but also enriches our day. There are times when we cannot fall asleep. Whether it be due to the fear of nightmares or insomnia, many contributors can keep someone affected by PTSD from getting peaceful and healing sleep. Catching those zzz’s can be troublesome.

For instance, do you ever get anxiety before going to bed? But then, feel more anxious because of your anxiety? It’s like I used to joke with my husband, “My anxiety has anxiety”.
