Holding anger and not forgiving others holds you back! As you grow, mature, and develop into best self you learn forgiveness is a strong component of growth !

suicide discussion from someone who struggled them self with PTSD and also witnessed successful and unsuccessful suicide attempts.

Review of Liberty harbor rv park. Close to public transportation and train to New York City. In Jersey city. NYC in site. Secure. On dead end road. Quiet. Water and electric hook up. Dump station on site. Laundry on site. Not the cheapest, but busy place to stay to be close to the city, convenient, and secured. #rvlife #rvliving #rv #anxietyrelief #camping #nyc

Two-part video as we make our way around New York City. Stop to discuss personal reflection of anxiety and PTSD, especially while traveling. Created this channel in hopes that it may help someone with PTSD/anxiety, or the family that surrounds them. So there will be some talk about mental health during the video, and we will stop at several epic places across the city to give you ideas so you can make the most out of your visit. Will stop at Times Square, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, Wall Street, Federal hall, Raging Bull, Trinity Church, Staten Island ferry, Statue of Liberty, battery park, Rockefeller center, 911 memorial, and many others. Wear comfortable shoes, enjoy your time, bring a portable battery charger especially if you are using your phone for directions. #nyc #ptsd #posttraumaticgrowth #posttraumaticstress #911memorial

A brief overview of the area involving the Salem witch trials. Proctors ledge and memorial areas. #salemwitchtrials #salem #witchcraft #rvlife #rv

Walk around of winter RV park. Located right on the water in Salem Massachusetts. Contains remnants of an old military Fort,  an old Coast Guard hanger and barracks, Small white house on the water, area to fish off the shore, playground, small beach area, and a boat launch. Secured at night. Only 20 miles to Boston, and a couple miles from witch trials history #rvlife #rvliving #rv #camping #massachusetts #salemwitchtrials

Several stops along the freedom trail in Boston. Paul revere‘s house, church, and cemetery. The bell in hand pub where John Hancock, Paul Revere and Samuel Adams drank beer (by the way, last call was always on the house). Church where Samuel Adams gave his speech before the Boston tea party. Also found out that Samuel Adams dad actually had the brewery and he inherited that business but focused more on politics. Shots fired and someone shot on the sidewalk. Talk about the lack of people willing to helping each other. Discussing frustration with people obsessed with their phone and not focused on helping someone injured. Cheers bar from the sitcom. The Boston Gardens/Park. In quick stop at the USS Constitution, (the oldest floating battleship). #rvlife #history

Mount desert Narrows RV park on mount desert island in Maine. Sight seeing Bar Harbor, then parts of Acadia national park. #rvlife #rv #rvliving #maine #acadianationalpark #nationalpark

Hike from the beach parking, through the park to the trail, then complete the half mile nature trail, then the fire tower trail to the fire tower. Leaving the fire tower to take the ridge trail pass the balancing rock in back to the start. Short talk at end of doing this while fighting off anxiety from ptsd and anxiety. We all have different forms of trauma, I need to learn to grow from them instead of letting them hold me back. Part of mine includes fear of getting too far from emergency services after seeing patients that could’ve had a better chance of survival if we had a better response time. This, along with any irregular heart pattern that can include symptomatic PVCs (it’s worse with increasing anxiety) drove my anxiety worse. I hope that someone may watch this that can relate and see they aren’t alone and can overcome there anxiety to live their best life! #posttraumaticgrowth #anxiety #anxietyrelief #ptsd #hiking #vermont

Niagara Falls from the side of US and a short discussion of ptsd and anxiety. We are on a trip and re setting our priorities in life. #ptsd #posttraumaticstress #ptg #posttraumaticgrowth #niagarafalls

Camping right on the on Moose river in St Johnsbury Vermont. Beautiful little rv park. Stumbled upon this place to stay one night… but after staying we added as a place we’d like to come back. Peaceful, well kept, river next to the rv, and owners Gary & Mary are super friendly. #vermont #rv #rvlife #campground

Sometimes you are just ready to pull over and try and sleep. If you don’t find the right place to boondock… you don’t sleep much. Random people cruise the parking lot late at night, then tornado sirens, trains, helicopters, and when you start sleeping better random employees show up at 3-4 AM and each one of them likes the honk their horns as they lock their doors. So be sure to size up your boondockimg area for more then just feeling secure haha ! #rvlife #rv #boondocking

RV life at Grand Haven State Park in Michigan. Catching a 12 pound freshwater drum off the pier. Living outside the normal routine and acquiring a new perspective on life! We caught the drum fish on a rapala shad rap lure, white and silver. And the “fried pickle“ restaurant in downtown had some awesome sandwiches !! #rvlife #rv #travel #camping #michigan #ptsd #posttraumaticgrowth

This video discusses our plan to Rv travel, grow from struggle, and see the country while dealing with anxiety/ptsd/injury/etc to further evolve into the best version of ourselves ! #ptsd #pts #anxiety #anxietyrelief #rvlife #ptg #posttraumaticgrowth

This video is my personal explanation of how PTSD affected/affects me. I was a full time firefighter paramedic, part time instructor, and had multiple traumas in life, some as a child.  Ptsd is a real problem. It can’t always be seen, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t present. It involves anger, involves anxiety, self esteem issues, difficulty being able to sleep, amongst others behaviors. It can change how your mind sees the world, sees yourself, how you react, how you treat everyone around you, and your trajectory in life. I hope that this video finds its way to anyone who may be struggling, or close to someone that is struggling from ptsd or Complex post traumatic stress disorder, so they can hear that they aren’t alone. Learning about the condition will help us grow and live more fulfilled lives in the world. The thoughts aren’t crazy. We are not broken. We are simply processing the life we experienced, and have the ability to grow stronger because of it ! At least from my experience….. you own the struggle, own it completely, try to improve, let the victim mentality go if you are in it, see the growth that is now available, the wisdom obtained, and benefits of trauma came bring rather than the mental chaos that may be currently present #posttraumaticgrowth #posttraumaticstress #ptsd #ptsdsymptoms #anxiety #firefighter #emt
