Hi, Jack. I enjoyed reading your story about a stressful therapy session. I empathize with your experience. As a Vietnam veteran, I suffer from the effects of PTSD. As you may know, it is considered an extreme anxiety disorder. I have learned the invisible poison in my system cannot be outrun, out-medicated, out trained, or outlived. It is a lifelong injury that is incurable. I had to learn to live with it, or I could not own any kind of life. I did okay, but my buddies did not fare well. I did wreck one doctor's office after I thought he said something inappropriate and had he not escaped my wrath, I would have done him harm. It took a while and the help of understanding loved ones to get me through the hard times. I liked your essay - well written and expertly edited. I appreciate the hard work. Truly I do. Thanks
