Yeah, talk about PTSD! Every symptom you can name, I had, every day of my life: racing, uncontrollable thoughts. Anxiety attacks. Panic attacks. Nervous breakdowns. Blackouts. Self-harm. Confusion. Memory loss. Suicidal and Homicidal tendencies. Nightmares. Insomnia. Hallucinations. Dissociative Disorder.
All the time, 24/7, for ten years, in some combination or another.
So, it's not that I don't sympathize or even empathize, because I do. I get it. I just don't agree with Aquila about the solution.

Either you received a miraculous healing... or you didn't have PTSD.
Sadly, not everyone of us receives a miraculous healing. I was born again at 13 years old, long before I began wrestling with PTSD in the military. Through the years, I've fasted, prayed, pleaded, bargained, etc. and still... no healing yet. The EMDR therapy helped, but it is hit or miss.
CBDs help. But it's almost like you have to take them every day or every other day at most. The smoke, well, a single treatment can help keep symptoms at bay for days.
