Title: Definite improvement
Post by: Cocobird on June 21, 2016, 04:47:46 PM
  My PTSD was diagnosed about three years ago. it was because of many things, beginning with an abusive childhood.

One of the symptoms i hated most was losing interest in things i used to love. Swimming had always been a passion of mine -- couldn't wait for summer so i could swim, and went swimming every day.

For a long time -- years -- i didn't swim. Didn't see the point of doing that, and just didn't want to. This bothered me.

Yesterday, i went swimming for the first time in three years. The water felt wonderful, and i loved being in the pool. For me, this is real progress. i'm slowly getting my life back.
