Nicely done, Lee. A loving family is a wonderful support for any problems, they can help you through. You keep fighting. God bless.

Beautiful, meaningful words. And, for me, I have doctors who I love. It’s important to me that they treat ME and not just my symptoms. PTSD is treated with anti anxiety medication so many times. It’s a bandage in my opinion. It just numbs the pain. There is so much emotional turmoil that need to be worked through.

Good writing. Short, but says so much.

Deep, abiding, and insightful.

That’s so moving. Please keep fighting. Take care.

Beautiful work, x

Very deep. You really convey the sense of a fighter, and I\’m glad that you are. There\’s a lot of talk about doctors treating symptoms and treating the actual cause of symptoms… This piece contributes very much from your first hand experience.

I like how your poem describes the emotional intensity behind your situation. Good job on bring the reader into your world. God bless you and your family.

You are a great writer/poet. I too struggle with anxiety/social disorders/depression so I can relate to a lot of what you wrote. Keeping your focus on God and family is what my grandfather has told me numerous times. Sounds like you are going strong. Hope for nothing but the best for you and yours…m.r.

You have expressed yourself very well in this poem! I like the way you did it. It is concise and real. Thanks!

Your poem is a truthful expression of our struggles in life and the love and family that keeps us striving on even when times are hard.

Powerful and insightfull. Keep up the good fight. My prayers are with you.

Usually, mediocre doctors prescribe drugs that only treat symptoms, only that and no counselling at all. But then keep fighting…

I am glad to see that God keeps you going! He keeps me going, too! This is such a beautiful piece!

nicely written..

Very impressive!

A doctor will try his best to treat you based on what he knows and studied in medical school, and we can\’t deny that we need them in a way but never forget that God really has the final say.

It is very important to recognize those who help us to keep the faith and keep going. Great poem!

hey Lee…u hv defined the line between a fighter and a survivor…Very well expressed…good one.

Yes, I recognize a fellow fighter/survivor when I meet one. Keep fighting my friend.

Very nice. Your a trooper, for sure!
Thanks,
Clay
