The Hot Pepper

"Thank you god for making other people to have it way worse."

I grab my fishin' rod and head to God's church.

Exercise is supposed to be the best anti-depressant.

I agree with TB...Some go to church and think about fishing, others go fishing and think about God

Maybe it's physiological... does your heart race and palpitate for no reason sometimes? Eyes burn? Thyroid? Low Testosterone?

Thanks everyone for the great advice...
Buzz, it could be. I was diagnosed with ptsd back in 2007 after returning back from the desert. I was medically retired in 2008 due to the ptsd and shoulder from a hard, some would say crash landing in a helicopter in Afghanistan. Really sucked to have my 12 year career ripped away from me. Yeah the pension healthcare for life is nice for me and my family but still...I have my good days and I have my bad, weekly therapy helps but what helps the mos...

Best thing for PTSD is magic mushrooms, exercise, and meditation.

Buzz whats the heart racing and palpitations have to do with?

I do everything but the mushrooms, also do yoga...

Also I just ran across this article yesterday..."What’s the status of the experiment I read about in HIGH TIMES, the one to help battle-injured Israeli Defense Forces soldiers experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder?
This is something that the army is interested in, and we’re going to help them. Basically, a German group and our group found that THC has something to do with forgetting, which is just as important as remembering. If you don’t forget anything, then...

you’re in bad shape. Cannabinoid receptors and the cannabinoid system are involved in forgetting. But by genetic methods, you can breed mice that do not have the cannabinoid system, and these mice don’t forget—they go on and on and on reacting to the noise. Now this is what happens in post-traumatic stress disorder."

People get a shock: a bomb next to them, a friend dies next to them—it’s a shock. Normally, people are in shock for a limited period of time before they slowly forget it. But some do not. This is the post-traumatic stress disorder: They wake up in the middle of the night with the scary thing coming back to them. They are afraid to go to sleep. So we hope that by giving them the thing they miss, the THC—we can’t give them the endocannabinoids that form in the brain...

—we can help them forget, help them sleep, help them relax.

interesting...

i feel this way everyday man, and i either submerse myself in a video game, or here on thp, or sit and hang out with my pepper plants in the garden. no drugs though!

You can try shrooms at doses so low (<=.5 gram) that you dont trip. I think there's also a theory that yoga and meditation used to be done in conjunction with hallucinogens. Anyway I will leave you to whatever.

Thanks magic-pepper. Same here no drugs for me...

mx5inpa-thanks for all the info and help bud...

It's just different drugs when you exercise, play video games, or surf the internet. And I dont think "god" labeled any of the things as "Drugs" when he gave them to us on the first page of the bible.

Peace.

Very true. But he also gave us free will on that same day and I just prefer to not take certain "drugs"....

That's because you cant let go which is why you have PTSD.
