David, even though I disagree with much of what you say about guns, I greatly appreciate your efforts in the realms of mental health and suicide prevention.
QT this with your self-care routine so we can all have a conversation about what self-care looks like, which is different for everyone
What self-care looks like for me is
-cooking
-watching the office

My C-PTSD is from sexual abuse and rape, but I think same principles apply. I visualize a chutes and ladders game board. When I feel I've gone down a chute, I remind myself it isn't infinite. It will come to a stop. Then I keep lists in journals of things that work as ladders.pic.twitter.com/ibEgB7znjk

Best advice I ever got: Start the day by making your bed. For one, it means you got out of it. Secondly, it means no matter what crap life throws at you, you got one thing done today. And it encourages self. My daddy taught me that, the army taught me that and I'm passing it on.

This is so true. Making the bed helps me. I also try to get rid of clutter in the bedroom. There is a subtle change in my overall demeanor when I wake up to a neat space. I've also minimized curtains so that I wake up to sunshine. That helps me too.

Also always know how much your family and friends love you, even when you might not believe it. They do. Never forget that. Always remember you mean more to them than you can imagine.
