For example, I had whooping cough at 2 which affected me and Blunt Trauma childhood epilepsy which also affected me. At the time I wouldn't have described it as PTSD. I wouldn't have considered my father's statement of "You better get some religion under your belt or you are going to die! which also was likely a form of PTSD.
Would I have survived all that if I hadn't believed in God? NO. I would have taken myself out without God. If I knew what I was going to have to endure during my life would I have chosen to stay alive without God. No.
So, believing in God through all the worst parts of my life were dependent upon God and Angels for me to survive.
Does this mean you need to believe in God? NO. I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is if I didn't believe in God when I was around 14 or 15 I would be dead now and dead by 15. That's all I'm saying here.
Did I survive the early PTSD of my life by believing in God. Yes!
Would I do it again. Yes!
So, Am I saying that some coronavirus survivors might commit suicide or drive their car off a cliff if they don't believe in God? Yes. I'm likely saying that (especially if another member of their family has died of coronavirus).
So, if people don't believe in God Or some kind of good higher power and a member of their family has died of coronavirus and they recovered from coronavirus you should watch out for them and pray for them if you can worldwide.
Otherwise, there are going to be a whole lot of dead people who survived coronavirus only to lose their lives to medically caused PTSD.
I have also recently in 2015 had Medical PTSD from a burst appendix with complications from the operation where I believed I was going to die for about 1 year until I was able to move on. This didn't make me want to kill myself but my family had to have a lot of patience with me during that year.
So, regarding medical procedure PTSD I have some experience with all this.
So, when my pacemaker was installed on June 2nd I believe 2020 It took me about 1 year to gain the courage to actually do this. So, I realized about 1 year ago I was eventually going to have to do this to stay alive and not die within a couple of years.
I didn't like thinking about myself as "robot Fred" for example, and I had to get beyond this and realize this wasn't actually what was going on. Instead I had to see that now my heart works better in co-ordination with itself better than it ever has before now. For example, I had an irregular heart beat all my life and I don't now and one compartment of my heart wasn't beating right until I got this pacemaker installed as it is now. So now, it may be possible for me to live to 100 or more. My wife's biological mother is now 93 and has had a pacemaker for at least 10 to 13 years so far and is mentally crisp and clear still at 93.
So, we have to be able to make these leaps of faith because of others, including a 98 year old step father of my wife who had a pacemaker at least 20 years before he passed a couple of years ago.
PTSD is survivable but often people need counseling of the right sort to keep it together and to move forward in their lives.
When my wife's mother who adopted her as a baby died in 1999 I thought I was going to lose my wife to grief because she wasn't prepared to lose her mother that young. But, because I had lost my father when I was only 37 in 1985 I understood how devastated I was for around 13 years of my own life until I almost died myself of a heart virus at 50 in 1998. So, I was able to help her get to a grief counselor that we both went to and still go to for marriage counseling and a personal grief therapist that only she saw. In the early 2000s my wife and I also went to a church where they had peer counseling courses and we both did two levels of peer counseling too. For these peer counseling courses they usually are more effective if they are women only and men only in groups which is what we went to also. This allowed us not to project our stuff from childhood on each other.
It helps to learn that you don't have to project your adapted child onto your spouse because this often can cause divorce and breakups when they are not really necessary.
Yes. We can all keep on going as long as possible but we have to be smart and efficient about it or we are all gone before our time.
Without my present wife when I was 50 in 1998 I would not be alive now.
