PTSD

[dh charles]

Does anyone have severe PTSD? How do you handle it day by day?. I take medications for it, but I knew that there was a certain point in which I had to take responsibility and accept ME the way I am. I control it and it does not control me, but I get so weary of the fight.......... almost every day and some sleepless nights. God is with me. I walk with Jesus and after grieving the Holy Spirit for man years and had many destructive behaviors in which I have been forgiven, and I just get tired of the fight.
How does anyone else handle the depression, nightmares, thoughts that invade, etc. ?..

Hello,

I don't know how severe is your situation, yet I believe I have undergone mild if not more than that a kind of anxiety, depression, yes nightmares, and its kind. What helps me to get out of it?
1. Prayer
2. Scriptures
3. Praise
4. Worship
5. Thanksgiving

Everyday despite of my feelings of distress, heaviness and sometimes torture :-D. Yet, there is REST if we were able to find the Lord's presence, in prayer, Reading and meditating the Scriptures, Worship, praise and thanksgiving. Amen.

In all of these (items 1-5), believe that there is a God who is A RE-WARDER OF THOSE WHO DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM (Hebrews 11:6) Amen

Praying for the Lord to grant you a willing spirit to sustain you in all your battles, enables you to enter His rest, and establish you in your faith. Amen

Blessings!

Keep fighting and seeking Jesus. He is your Healer! My daughter has PTSD and she gave up on medication and professional help and has left her husband and two children and we have not heard from her in over two years and do not know where she is. It is a dreadful thing that wrecks people's lives and tears families apart. She knew the Lord, but lacked the grounding and intimacy with Jesus that she so desperately needs.

I encourage you to search the word of God, and pray always. Remember that with God, all things are possible.

Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

1 Corinthians 12: 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.

Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

I pray you may receive God's healing spirit! There is peace in the word! If you are having nightmares, and bad thoughts, talk to God. Ask him for help in good faith, and he will answer you. (I can vouch for Him). God bless!

Proverbs 3:13 ¶ Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. 14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. 15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. 16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. 17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. 18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her. 19 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens. 20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
21 ¶ My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion: 22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck. 23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble. 24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. 25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. 26 For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. :glasses:

I can write tonight. I had a very tough time last night.
You know, that has always been a big part of my confidence in Him that if I sought Him diligently.... If I was always after His Heart that I could not to better than that. Gradually, I have grown closer and closer. Now I cannot live without Him.

Was your daughters PTSD from abuse? Mine was. I cannot believe how hard it is to overcome those memories. I am sure you know that the results of PTSD plays a big part in ones physical condition. I suppose it's because you are always trying to FIX yourself as if you will always damaged goods.
Recently, and especially last night, I have crossed a big bridge and feel that I have AT LAST gotten rid of my last demon...I should say that I was finally able to cooperate with God on a certain subject And HE got rid of my last demon.
I am sorry about your Daughter not talking to you for so long.
On the subject of grounded.This is what I need most; practical advice in the scripture, showing the love of God etc.
Most assuredly reading scripture is very important, and it is also very important to translate it into daily living.

It is so good to read of you making such strong headway against the scourge of PTSD. My daughter was beaten by a large man, a patient in the lock-down Alzheimers ward of the healthcare facility where she worked. Receiving a bad concussion and suffering the trauma of that and her struggle to get free from his grip, she did get medical and psychological help, but like many people who suffer with PTSD, she determined for herself wrongly that alcohol was a better route to go than drugs prescribed for her ongoing physical pain.

Right now, she is walking very far from her Father, and in with some pretty nasty people, but who and where we have no clue. Her husband and children and her sisters and her father and I are moving on with our lives. It's her loss. We are trusting Jesus to bring her back to her senses as the Prodigal.

Keep holding fast to Jesus! He has already healed you!

Alcohol, and the love of money, and lust, drugs and sex; which is worse. The sad part is that one begets the other.
Having PTSD and then beat up; now that is bad.
I will happen; she will return one of these days and I pray it will not be long. What gets in to some people is kinda ridicules. I know from experience that a person can talk themselves into anything AND believe they are right too. Oh well, we are just human. God help us.

FYI, it was the trauma sustained in the beating that brought on the PTSD in my daughter. She has also, since she was a child, suffered from the demonic, and as a teenager, gave way to them, yet did receive some deliverance and came back to Christ and was baptized in water and the Holy Spirit about 10 years ago. She has fallen hard, and it seems to me that Satan has pulled out all the stops in taking her down.

With Jesus fighting for us, the devil will lose this fight. He's lost already. We still have to see it, yet.

Yes, He already won. At the same time.... I feel your pain. I guess the question that everyone ask but many will never find out the answer; If God is in control then why does so many bad things happen, does bugs everyone. Even us faith-based Christians think about that question.The difference is that we have faith that it will all be clear one day and we do not want to know the answer right now. And, we are ok that there is no answer now. We do not need to know all the answers now...that's where faith comes and all the challenges that come with faith..
One thing is certainly true is that anytime you do something for God's Kingdom Satan is there to challenge ones Christian armor. Another point is crystal clear to me is that God will not take away any conundrum in ones life until we learn something to further His kingdom. This solution that He gives us always make the practicalities in our lives much better than before. All things work together......You know the drill.

Yes, this is a painful thing for our family, but the truth is that the devil can only penetrate the lives of those folks who are not diligent and vigilant, and who have gaps in their armour. My daughter was neither vigilant nor diligent in her walk. However, as she is a child of God, my trust is in Him to orchestrate her return...but not without the intercession of the saints.

You've received some good answers already here. The secret is the secret for anyone who has any problem that would separate him from God. You have stated it. "Now I cannot live without Him". This must be true for all of us or we have no hope at all. We however have this Hope! Evil times and frustrations will likely still come. Don't quit on God. Sometimes He seem to not be there, but that is not so. He is always there even when you can feel nothing but pain and loneliness.
