Welcome to this week's episode of my podcast. I'm a bit late getting this one out, but life happens. Today, I want to share my personal experiences with PTSD and the nightmares that come with it. I'm not a doctor or a therapist, just someone who's been through it. My nightmares are vivid and often lead to me acting out, sometimes even falling out of bed. These episodes affect my sleep, mood, and overall quality of life. I call them "ghosts of the past" because they keep trying to creep back into my life. If you're dealing with similar issues, it's crucial to seek help. Whether it's talking to a therapist or reaching out to support groups, getting help can make a significant difference. It's important to understand how your trauma can affect not just you but also your loved ones. Join me as I discuss the importance of not isolating yourself, seeking the right medical and emotional support, and understanding the impact of PTSD on your life and family.

Welcome to today's podcast, where we tackle a difficult yet crucial topic: the risk of suicide among individuals with PTSD, MS, and TBI. We aim to raise awareness about the symptoms and provide actionable advice for those experiencing these thoughts. People with PTSD are twice as likely to commit suicide compared to those without it. Veterans and trauma survivors are particularly at risk. It's essential to discuss these issues openly and encourage therapy as a viable option for dealing with them. Individuals with MS face a suicide risk four times higher than the average person. Despite the debilitating nature of MS, therapy can offer significant help. Older men, especially, should consider therapy despite any reservations. Those with TBI also face a significantly increased risk of suicide, with a 62% higher likelihood compared to those without TBI. The combination of these conditions can feel overwhelming, but stubbornness and a determination to be a part of life can help combat these feelings. Suicidal thoughts often stem from feeling trapped in a paradigm—a self-created box of limitations. However, a paradigm shift can change everything. By altering your perspective, you can unlock new possibilities and find new ways to live meaningfully. Remember, despite the challenges posed by these diseases, you have the power to shift your paradigm and improve your life. Stay positive, seek help, and don't let these conditions define you. This episode is one of the most important we've done. Take these insights to heart and know that your life can be better. Take care.…
