Hypothetically how does life prepare us? To what means are we to be prepared?

Complex PTSD - to state it’s complex is an understatement

The above place not only offers plenty of resources but also offers grants for those with complex PTSD who can’t afford treatment.

Most people can’t possibly comprehend this type of mental torture and to suggest it’s merely a smoke screen to use as an excuse is beyond ignorant.

Seems we've all had our turn in the barrel

Me?
I've taken life by the horns
Enjoyed ever minute; good, bad, ugly

Thing is
I may have been the cause of PTSD for those around me

Of late, I've discovered my short comings

It's a spiritual thing
I'll spare y'all
Not gonna do any Bible thumping here

But, it's changed me

You guys take care

Got some studying to do

Most concerned about the saint Paul on road to Damascus conversion!
Sure we can't tempt you back to the "grey side"? :)

As I recall, he went blind on that road

This macular degeneration thing has been a bit of a stumbling block

But

Mmmmm, think he saw blinding light, though obviously not completely blind or else how did he manage to write "Letters to the Corinthians", " Letters to the Ephesians", and receives replies you'd presume(?)

Ever see a blinding light?
Try staring into the sun
It greatly inhibits vision...
He was blind for three days
Work with me
Are we far enough off topic?

"If he stared into the sun for three seconds, never mind three days he'd be well and truly blind I'd guess", but you should know by now I only read or take in half the text, maybe less, reading any stories!
Right, back on topic, (what is topic? :) ).
 
I believe life prepares us for spiritual growth. If we keep getting the same hurtful situations presented to us, it’s the universe ( God ) trying to teach us something. If we don’t learn the lesson we repeat the pattern over and over.

I must be a slow learner but I’m catching on. 😅Now I try and be grateful & joyous for every day I’m alive. I try and offer help for those with severe mental issues because I think it’s the supportive thing to do.
