Fantasy Eleven: PTSD Cures

This one goes out to all the things myself and others do to try to move past "this". These are things suggested to try, or I actually tried, until and in between the next time you stung with new bullshit to deal with.  Enjoy how the various cures do you in.

Meditation - You decide to take up meditation and found a favorite You Tuber guide. You enter a deep state of relaxation not realizing that it is actually carbon monoxide taking effect. You have neglected the furnace for three years in a row since being heavily warned you needed to replace it.  Being home on the daily now has you using it way more than your normal.  You got to complete CO problem quicker than originally the Reaper planned.

Orange Essential Oils - turns out you are highly allergic.

Physical Exercise - You do too much too fast and injure yourself - specifically an ACL tear requiring surgery.  You never wake up.

Chiro/Massage - You decide to see a Chiropractor for the neck pain caused from stress that you hold there.  She does an adjustment which causes a blood clot that gets your brain two days later.

Therapy/Medication - You are prescribed medication to assist you toward normalcy.  The female psychologist lets you know she doesn't do talk therapy and you don't wanna get real anyway. There is a MAJOR screw up at your pharmacy and the mistake ends your life. Dayum. This was the first legit lawsuit you couldda filed, too.

Time away from work -  You remove  one source of the stress, the location. But, they are doing construction nearby and you can't really rest and re-coop. One day you can't take it anymore or drown it out so you grab a light coat and head down the stairs too hastily.  The fall breaks your neck.

Talking to friends and family- You have no friends.  You are divorced and estranged from your adult children, your siblings and your grandchildren.  So, you die of loneliness.
