Right on! I was concerned that many people might be turned off by the INTENSE nature of this post, but luckily, I am PLEASANTLY surprised to see that it is resonating with the RIGHT people.. EVEN JUST ONE new, interesting person who is drawn in by these more edgy posts is an accomplishment according to my grand mission. Here is "third world" Asia people will allow themselves to literally be PHYSICALLY and/or MENTALLY and/or SPIRITUALLY HARMED in order to save face, and they STUFF those emotions down into the depths while it eats away at them. I totally resonate with the PTSD stuff, as I deal with it each daily myself. Most days I need to SUPPLEMENT my diet with BEER and SEDATIVES just to get through the day without killing myself and/or others.... but that's okay. That SAME PTSD is what has made me into what I am. The bottom line is that life is TOUGH. The problem is that most people CHOOSE to NOT ACCEPT that reality that life is TOUGH, and they ULTIMATELY do so at their own peril.... Since you and I have some mutual interests (ex. filmmaking) I have given you a BIG, FAT, JUICY follow for such a heartfelt comment, and for sharing your struggles and continuing the fight. Keep on keeping on.... "one nervous breakdown at a time".... You are valued... @transcript-junky
