For years I identified as a person with PTSD, and it was true. Many challenges in my life made that my reality.
I struggled with the 'why me' of it all but all of us have difficulty and stresses in our lives, how we manage them is what's important.
So through the years since I started my spiritual growth I learnt many techniques.
I learnt how to be present, how to be grateful and how to not let my past define me.
The closer I got to living my life with purpose the clearer it became to me that those things didn't happen TO me, they happened FOR me.
If I didn't face those struggles I wouldn't have the perspective on life that I now hold.
Without getting MS I'd still be in a job I don't particularly enjoy and I wouldn't have met some of the wonderful people I now get to work with and call friends.
So now I don't identify as having post traumatic stress, I now identify with post traumatic growth!
Because the events that happened in my life have made me grow into a person I never thought I could be.
I now use the powers I learnt from my experiences to help others that are facing their own stresses, and for that I feel truly blessed.
