We all like to think we're invincible, tough enough to ride it out.
Down deep inside, we're all pussies when it comes to bad health,
once we come down with it.
I will say this though, I don't fear death. I've been pretty
close to it a few times. It didn't bother me. I don't fear it now.
I think of death as a friend I have yet to meet.
For my first forty years I just didn't cry much. I might get a few
tears if it was something really important.
Then in 1992, I had two back to back near death experiences. For
some reason, that changed me.
I'd never avoided crying, but there are times now when the tears
flow. Doesn't bother me. It's just interesting how I changed.
I watch some of the Asian novellas (I call them) and tear up.
I never would have done that in my first 40 years.
As for your compliments, thanks. We all have our shortcomings.
I try to be a stand up person, but I fail at times.
I appreciate your open comments, and give you credit for being
able and willing to do that. I appreciate it.

PTSD. There are support groups that are very good at helping people that suffer from it. Please seek one out. Even mild PTSD can have effects that go beyond what you describe. It impacts one’s behavior in many ways - not in a positive manner.
Thank you for sharing. one of the few things that are certain is we are all going to be introduced to that friend we haven’t met yet. That is sobering
