I found myself withdrawing from society and avoiding social situations at all costs.  I did not want to be around people, but my wife kept pushing me to seek help and got me back into the church. While symptoms of PTSD won't ever go away, through treatment, they can be managed and remain dormant, so living and thriving with PTSD is possible. FYI only People who have experienced a traumatic event and have PTSD are at greater risk of attempting suicide. About 27% of those diagnosed with PTSD have attempted suicide. Last month, the media reported on three separate yet related death by suicide in just one week. Does PTSD damage the brain?   According to recent studies, Emotional Trauma and PTSD cause brain and physical damage. Neuropathologists have seen overlapping effects of physical and emotional trauma upon the brain. Although The Bible does not say anything specifically about Posttraumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD, I can glean much guidance from some indirect teachings in the Bible. What is PTSD: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder that may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a severe accident, a terrorist act, war/combat, or rape or who have been threatened with death, sexual violence or severe injury. Yes, I have a treatment process involving physical, mental, and spiritual healing. I also require professional help. My treatment is ongoing. I have gotten many resources from the VA hospital. Medication has helped alleviate some of my symptoms. I m thankful to have a network of support—counselors, doctors, my family members, pastors, and the church family—it has been essential in my recovery process.  Of course, my most important support is God, our ultimate Healer, and Counselor. David wrote, "From the ends of the earth I call to you, / I call as my heart grows faint; / lead me to the rock that is higher than I. / For you have been my refuge, / a strong tower against the foe" (Psalm 61:2–3). It is our responsibility to exercise faith in God, to stay in the Word, to cry out to God in prayer, and to maintain fellowship with other believers.  We go to God in our distress and use the resources He provides. Regardless of the circumstances, there is hope. First and foremost, that hope comes from God. Posttraumatic stress disorder can be devastating, but I must remember that I was not alone in my struggles.  Many others have dealt with PTSD, and resources are available to help you. It can be challenging to get through each day when you're struggling with PTSD, but staying positive and focused on the good in your life is essential.    You deserve happiness in your life, and you deserve to be healthy. There are many ways to cope with PTSD, but staying in God's Word does help. By changing your thinking, focusing on the good, practicing self-care, and finding a support group, you can manage your PTSD and find joy in your life again. I did. I discovered that Changing my perspective helped me stop feeling sorry for myself and focus on the good things God has blessed me with in my life. Finding humor in my situation allows me to laugh away some of my stress and fear. I had to learn to speak the truth about practical things; it was challenging but also necessary. Often, I felt endangered when the situation did not warrant it.  Remind me that going to Walmart or any store is not a traumatic event but a new and safe situation. This is important. It is also essential to say that PTSD is not an excuse for bad behavior. Likely, PTSD will contribute to opposing thoughts and behavior patterns. This is understandable, but it should be resisted. James 4:7 New International Version Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. When we encounter trauma, it's natural to have an immediate and often intense response. After all, the human brain was not designed to experience these kinds of events.  When we are suddenly confronted with danger, it triggers the "fight-or-flight" response in our brains. This is an automatic reaction that our ancestors needed when they were in trouble — but unfortunately, these responses are now triggered by experiences that are not physically threatening.  Fortunately, as Christians, we...
