I love going to the gym. I have 2 dogs. I have a lizard. I love animals.
I used to be in the military and am having PTSD flare ups. I like to stay active. I go to the gym 4 times per week. I am a truck driver. I ate a lizard once.
How's the PTSD? Feeling any better? It's been a couple days since my last flare up, but I am on edge because I don't know when the next flare up will be. I am trying to stay as busy as possible to keep my mind off of it.  Oh I understand, you're doing great. Does the gym help? It really does. As long as I'm lifting weight or doing cardio, my mind feels empty, which is good for the time I'm doing it. Usually the post-workout endorphins are enough to put me in a state of bliss for at least a few hours. The only thing that would make it better was if I had a work out partner.   I feel that so much!! Working out is my escape from all my problems, as you said, even if it's for the moment. Where do you work out? Maybe we will be work out partners. I work out at the local Planet Fitness. That would honestly be a godsend to have a partner like you. Maybe, I'll get to meet your lizard as well. haha What is your lizards name? I work out at planet fitness too!! But I'm sure it's different locations. Oh you will love my lizard, her name is adasha. That's a unique name. I love it. Well, at least our planet fitness passes will work in each others' gyms, so that works out. Working out plus friends will go a long ways in helping my PTSD, plus I'm pretty good company, so you may get something out of the friendship as well haha  That's true, and I'm sure you are a great person. Honestly, I really need a friend too, I would love to meet you. That's sweet of you to say. I think this is the start of something great. I will get in contact with you soon about a good time to meet up. I can't wait!! Plus I'm off of work for about a month so we will have more time to hang out. Great news! I'm usually free on weeknights and weekends, so those will be the best times for me. I love both a good morning workout and evening workout, so the time of day is not too big a deal for me.
