PTSD Advice

I just came from another PTSD blog. Along with items about anxiety, stress, coping with emotions, etc., there was an ad that read: “Whiten Your Teeth.” Maybe it's only a glitch in the “topic appropriate” function of advertising. But it’s not so far from the advice that I've received over the last few decades:

  • Think happy thoughts.
  • Get out more.
  • Join things.
  • Spice up your sex life.
  • Oh. In that case, get a sex life.
  • Get a job.
  • Okay, get a better job.
  • Go to church.
  • Go to church basements.
  • Take up line dancing.
  • Smile!

Is there any advice that you wish someone had given you?
