RAMOLA DHARMARAJ (“NOT MENTALLY ILL”) EXPOUNDS ON FOIA DOCUMENTS: MORE WILD SPECULATION, ERRONEOUS SUPPOSITIONS, DELUSIONAL IMAGININGS & EXPLOITING THE NAME OF CIA WHISTLEBLOWER BARBARA HARTWELL TO PROMOTE HER CRAZY CONSPIRITARD RANTINGS

-From harassing e-mail to Barbara Hartwell by Ramola Dharmaraj

 

I am so very tired of having to address this unscrupulous, aggressive whackjob, Ramola Dharmaraj.

But I saw this coming. Of course I did. After 6 months of involuntary commitment in a psych ward (from my observations of her aggressive, aberrant behavior, bizarre false accusations (defamation) and harassment against her neighbors, her own family, and others, making her a public nuisance –an unavoidable outcome) Ramola Dharmaraj has reverted to the same old pattern: putting out reams of rambling, fact-free, evidence-free “information” (her so-called “crucial work”), by publishing documents available to anyone under FOIA (nothing new, nothing exclusive), and then misrepresenting the content by wrapping them in a package consisting of nothing but her own subjective opinions and delusional, self-referencing imaginings.

 

Just one example of her delusions of her own importance for “ALL”.

"This report has implications for all on Planet Earth, including all in the Military and Intelligence and Law Enforcement agencies, who are surely aware themselves how these “through-wall” radio and electrical weapons assail and impact all human and civil rights."

What is this to me? Why do I care?

Let me count the ways...

Because, even after the multiple public warnings I have issued, Ramola Dharmaraj is still exploiting my name, Barbara Hartwell (as she has been for years) on her yellow journalism/tabloid-style/gossip column website to promote false information, which not only does damage to me, but to many others who are seeking truthful, factual information on the subject matter she addresses.

As has been my policy for decades, on principle and in defense of my good name, I will not stand idly by and allow this woman to continue her outrageous false accusations (slander, libel and diabolical calumny) against me. She has been warned repeatedly and has disregarded the warnings.

In the worst case, she has co-opted my name to grossly exploit it in this banner, which she titles:

 

"FLYER FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION"

 

"FUSION CENTER TREASON"

 

"Notice: Treasonous Policy in Place by DOJ, FBI, Law Enforcement, Fusion Centers, to Legally Permit Covert Use of Radiation Weapons and Neuroweapons in Vendetta, Surveillance, Non-Consensual Experimentation, Electronic Warfare Field Weapons Testing on Citizens But Name Victims Mentally Ill and Schizophrenic When They Mention It, Report It, Confront Police, Neighbors, Other Weapon Wielders"

 

"CIA Whistleblower Barbara Hartwell

FBI Whistleblower Geral Sosbee

NSA Whistleblower John St Clair Akwei

 

Have Been Whistleblowing for YEARS On These Murderous and Inhumane Actions" 

 

I have copied these statements from the flyer because they are too small to read.

 

And speaking for myself, the issues she lists are her issues, not mine. I have done my own work (nothing to do with her or her "targeted individual" nonsense). And she had no business using my name here as a promotion. She misrepresents me entirely by making it appear that I endorse or support what she is doing on her stupid website. I don't, and never have done.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the record, she created and published this flyer without my knowledge or consent. She distributed it widely, including on social media. I have never at any time endorsed the statements used in the flyer, nor do I agree with them. By using my name, she is trying to put words in my mouth, and grossly misrepresenting me and my professional work.

But worst of all, Ramola was trespassing on the property of her neighbors, and posting this flyer on their doors, in aggressive attempts to force her views on them. And, she was exploiting MY NAME to pursue her civil offenses (trespassing, harassment and invasions of privacy) against others.

The neighbors, outraged at her aggression (including accusing them of hitting her with weapons), rightfully called the police. And eventually she was arrested and taken into custody for violating a “Harassment Prevention Order.”

 

She was not "wrongfully arrested", as she later claimed. No, her arrest was no doubt warranted. She refused to STOP her harassment of her neighbors. Just as she has refused to heed my warnings to STOP exploiting my name.

 

And for the record, her husband (along with the neighbors) was involved in having her committed to the psych ward. He plainly said so in public commentaries and e-mails. It wasn't "the CIA", nor any other government entity that was involved in having her committed, and calling her "mentally ill", because she reported the use of weapons. That is pure nonsense.

 

Her husband divorced her, though she lied about that as well. She claimed "the CIA" removed him from their home, along with her daughter, and that there were later "clones" of them who visited her. All this delusional craziness has since been scrubbed from her site. But check the links to my reports below, where you may find her own words, making these ridiculous claims. 

 

From my observations over years, nothing she says can be believed. She is not a truthful person, aside from her mental instability and delusions. And her false accusations against others (including Barbara Hartwell) clearly show her lack of integrity and honor.  She is a person of low moral character, to make such false claims against people who have done her no wrong.

After her arrest, she was then remanded to a psych ward, where she spent 6 months. Now, she says she is “back home”.

And she is still exploiting my name, on this flyer, placed prominently on the front page of her website, making it appear that I support her, her website, and her crackpot conspiracy theories, where she plays a central role, as she has claimed to be “The World's PreEminent Journalist” with her “crucial work” for “ALL”.

None of the crap she spews has anything whatsoever to do with me. I won't stand for this! What she has done to me by exploiting my name, slandering and libeling me, accusing me of being CIA, is outrageous beyond belief.

When I exposed her, she twisted it to falsely accuse me of “slander and libel”, when all I have ever done is defend myself against the aggression of this narcissistic whackjob.

 

Mark my words: She will be held accountable for her unscrupulous, dishonorable actions. By me, even if by no one else. And I don't think she can fathom what that means.

 

Some people may be critical of me for being "harsh" to a "poor mentally ill woman". So let me make myself clear. I am not hard-hearted. But I am also not willing to allow anyone to do this kind of damage to my reputation, while she arrogantly refuses to remove the false promotions exploiting my name. What she is doing is not only wrongful, to lie and slander me, but malicious. And malice is evil. And I have zero tolerance for evil. Period. 

 

So here is yet another warning to Ramola Dharmaraj:

CEASE & DESIST

REMOVE MY NAME FROM YOUR FRAUDULENT “PUBLIC EDUCATION FLYER” POSTED ON THE FRONT PAGE OF YOUR WEBSITE.

DO IT NOW.

I ASSURE YOU THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES FOR YOUR UNSCRUPULOUS, DISHONORABLE EXPLOITATION OF MY NAME AND YOUR LIES.

GET OFF MY CASE.

As I have stated in previous reports, I deeply regret ever having been a guest on her podcast, as that opened the door for her attempts to latch on to me and my credentials, which she entirely lacks. My very bad experiences with this pretentious poseur have unfortunately happened with other talk hosts of her ilk, claiming to be “journalists”, when they are only ambitious amateurs looking to exploit legitimate former intelligence professionals and government whistleblowers, thinking they can latch on and make a name for themselves.

Then, the hordes of busybodies and hecklers, who are invited to comment, taint the subject matter and destroy the integrity of the program.

For this reason, I have mostly given up doing podcast interviews. It's just not worth my time, there is no benefit to me, and brings only a world of trouble. Most podcasters have live chat functions for the audience to comment simultaneously, or after the program. This has become the standard practice for podcasts and is now the nearly universal Internet/social media culture.

It's a free-for-all! The more the merrier! But, as far as I am concerned, it degrades and waters down the content. Engagement is how they make money and how they rise in ratings, which is what most podcasters seek.

My work is not in any way motivated by making money. It is totally non-commercial. I am entirely independent and make nothing from my work. Nor have I any concern with 'ratings'. It is not my concern what people think of me or my work, there is no reason for me to care. But I do care very much about preserving the integrity of my work, and that means sticking to the truth and the facts – evidently a rare concept these days.

Since my policy is no engagement with the public, and since I am not a part of this Internet/social media culture, this is a deal-breaker for me. I do not invite commentary on my website, nor on my radio appearances. The discussion is solely between me and the host.

I made all this clear to Ramola from the first podcast. But instead of respecting my wishes, she went hog wild, exploiting my name and inviting everyone and her sister to chime in where she knew they were not wanted – not by me, anyway.

In her aggressive seeking of public acclaim, she has exploited the names of any number of former intelligence professionals, mine among them.

Aside from her pursuit of fame on false pretenses (which has failed), her obsession is the same as it has always been: to clear her name from the stigma of being “mentally ill”. How many times has she vehemently protested: “I am not mentally ill!”

I beg to differ. Had she not recently scrubbed her archives of her long-winded deranged tirades, her crazy rantings, anyone could have found a plethora of evidence of mental illness just by visiting her website. But for those interested, I have saved much of this material, published in my reports (see links below).

To my knowledge this is the only archive left on the Internet exposing Ramola Dharmaraj as the unscrupulous whackjob she is. Nobody cares, and I don't blame them. But I care, because the damage she has done to me is so extensive that I can't let it go. Exposing the truth is the only remedy for her lies.

In her column, Swans Against Slander, where she featured Barbara Hartwell as Public Slanderer Number One, I was falsely accused of all manner of dastardly deeds.

She has since deleted all the articles, but I saved all the content, and in addition, the lies she was telling to others, behind my back, as well as openly on her website.

FOR THE RECORD: LIES, SLANDER & FALSE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST BARBARA HARTWELL BY RAMOLA DHARMARAJ

"Paid by CIA"

"Damaging the testimonial and fact-based journalism I and others have done on the subject of targeting and fusion center and intelligence operations against people"

"Protecting these [CIA/government] operations"

"Defaming posts and slander"

"Defamatory, misrepresentative, falsely-accusatory, and false"

"Misrepresentation, false accusation, and veiled threat"

"Campaign of defamation and slander"

"She has entered into decline and her website has been taken over by a ghost writer apparently fixated on defamation and slander"

"She is using avatars, which have taken over her site"

"Paid [by CIA] to storytell" against Ramola

"In collusion with the Mazzeos” [her neighbors, whom she falsely accused of being CIA] to “slander” Ramola

"Cease and Desist your flagrant and continuing slander and lies"

And there is much more, but I think I've made my point.

And I must state for the record, just as I have done numerous times, that there is not one statement made by Ramola Dharmaraj which is based on facts, or which is truthful. Every statement, every accusation, made by this crazy, malicious woman is a lie.

THE LATEST FALSEHOODS PROMOTED BY RAMOLA DHARMARAJ IN CONNECTION WITH FOIA DOCUMENTS

This is the latest, as she tries to deceive her readers that she is “not mentally ill”.

I won't even bother to refute her claims. I've already done that in so many of my previous reports. (See links below.)

I will only say that nothing she says here has anything whatsoever to do with what was given in the FOIA documents. Go to her website and see for yourself. Most people will not take the time to read the actual documents, but only credulous fools would take Ramola seriously as a source of any truth.

According to Ramola, it is all about the “trafficking” of “targeted individuals”. Being obsessed with CIA, she blames them for everything, even when there is no evidence that they are involved.

Note how she continually harps on denying being “mentally ill”. She speculates endlessly on CIA, but that is all it is. She presents no facts, no evidence.

 

EXCERPTS FROM THE SPECULATIVE & DELUSIONSL RANTINGS OF RAMOLA DHARMARAJ 

"Defense contractor access to Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Intelligence information (such as, plausibly, undisclosed but long-suspected lists of unlawfully targeted and watchlisted individuals from fusion centers–who became the involuntary, unconsenting “human subjects” expediently labeled “Targeted Individuals” and “Mentally Ill” by Primary Care and Emergency Room Physicians, EMS personnel, Psychiatrists, Departments of Mental Health, local and state police/fusion centers, and so-called Media, collusive and complicit); secretive Special Access CIA teams being involved in radio weapons-testing and operating involuntarily on humans; and radio weapons-testing, bioeffects data collection, and bioeffects data analysis at multiple sites, at a primary Air Force base named, as well as at other sites inclusive of “military installations and approved contractor operated secure facilities” (DD 254, Page 3, item 8a)."

"This report is in process and will be updated continuously. Massive cyberhacking and other attacks on this writer have attended this entire, vital, human and animal rights and protection reportage over the past 3 years. These documents reveal secret radio-weapons testing projects since 2013 which included field radio weapons-testing in the US and plausibly also in NATO and other foreign countries, Intelligence involvement, and, along with other Non Lethal Weapons Testing projects being run by the DOD and DOJ could account for the attacks reported by hundreds of thousands of civilians in the US and worldwide wrongfully labeled “Targeted Individuals” and “Mentally Ill” for reporting radio weapon and neuroweapon attacks on their physical bodies. This report has implications for all on Planet Earth, including all in the Military and Intelligence and Law Enforcement agencies, who are surely aware themselves how these “through-wall” radio and electrical weapons assail and impact all human and civil rights. Human and civil rights organizations as well as animal rights organizations may want to step forward here and take the lead in protecting all human and animalkind from the tremendously destructive implications of these insidious pulsed electromagnetic and electrical technologies which continue to be developed and fine-tuned–and which have been hidden using “Mental Health” covers, which can no longer stand in the face of evidence of actual radio weapons-testing and human experimentation by the military and Justice agencies."

"Defense contractor access to Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Intelligence information (such as, plausibly, undisclosed but long-suspected lists of unlawfully targeted and watchlisted individuals from fusion centers–who became the involuntary, unconsenting “human subjects” expediently labeled “Targeted Individuals” and “Mentally Ill” by Primary Care and Emergency Room Physicians, EMS personnel, Psychiatrists, Departments of Mental Health, local and state police/fusion centers, and so-called Media, collusive and complicit); secretive Special Access CIA teams being involved in radio weapons-testing and operating involuntarily on humans"

 

And now this. She speculates about “Special Projects” and accuses a new neighbor (see bold type below) of nefarious activity. How long before he too will be calling the police when he realizes that this 007-wannabe whackjob is snooping on him and videotaping him?

"...right after I noted in the margin a question about possible “Special Access” work at this seemingly Special, meaning, in this reading, a doubly secured Special Projects location on base (not just a SCIF perhaps), “Cloning? GM’ing embryos?”, the new man next door slammed out of his house, screen door slammed, leapt into his car and left and a smell of intense skunk spray suddenly pervaded the deck and air where I sat in sun, reading, as if in confirmation. I did record a brief video to mark the moment."

And more obsessive speculation about CIA:

 

"Now a little while ago–while this writer was in the throes of nonstop insane, unwarranted, unlawful anti-personnel Directed Energy Weapon assault from parties she knew nought about–a FOIA request sent in to the Central Intelligence Agency was returned as if in fury, the very same day, possibly within the hour, with what is termed (apparently triumphantly) by CIA strategists a “Glomar” response. Essentially, the CIA could not deny, could not acknowledge but could not deny that secret human subject research and undisclosed experimentation on human brains was being carried out in the United States of America."

"In retrospect it seems the CIA issued this speedy opaque response primarily to conceal the use of directed-energy and radiation neuroweapons in research, for prior to that FOIA request on this subject in 2015, employees of the CIA had reported in 2012 to Amy Gutmann, the Chair of the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, that the CIA was conducting “confidential” research on humans, not abroad, but inside the USA. Research in fact which was CIA-sponsored–funded? Or research involving involvement like the MK ULTRA, MKCHICKWIT, MKOFTEN, MK DELTA, MK NAOMI et al by the Army and Navy and Air Force?"

"This is obviously a watershed moment therefore, for this writer and all her readers over the years following this subject, to be examining these declassified contract documents and reports from a Defense contractor engaged in a multiply renewable and spread-over-vast-terrain Spectrum weapons-testing contract on humans and animals and witnessing evidence of the CIA’s Clandestine-arm involvement in it."

"Note that all of this is information the CIA has wished to keep secret. Something has definitely changed, thankfully, for this Attachment has been declassified on this FOIA request. But the very fact that it exists suggests the CIA believed the CIA cannot be seen to be Directing Operations, that the CIA is issuing a command to “sponsoring agencies,” that the CIA doesn’t wish to divulge all information to US contractors–which suggests both that US contractors may not be getting all of the centrally-organized information here (are Europeans then? Is anyone?), although they are themselves surely generating this information variously, locally, and that the component, source, place, field information is being protected from public disclosure, meaning the bulk of the data collection information, the police (component) involvement, the hospital (component) involvement, the Psych Ward (component) involvement. The fact of this involvement and the CIA-umbrella cover has been intended for full cover: concealment forever? This is information to have been put in reports from the CIA Directorate of Operations, to be redacted or deleted rather, to be actively concealed: the actual projects and sources, actual data, actual areas of operation, actual groups and organizations involved, inclusive, speculatively, of all police, EMS, ER, Psych Asylums, Wards, Doctors."

"Mental asylums and Psych Wards to where people are being trafficked by police, courts, ER doctors, and nurses (as this writer and journalist has thrice experienced and witnessed now, as well as reported live in several cases since 2016)"

Yes, Ramola has been remanded to psych wards, at least 3 times. In my opinion, for good reason. She was not “trafficked” for any purpose. Nobody in CIA cares one way or another about this narcissistic, delusional mental case.

Give it up, Ramola!

AND STOP EXPLOITING MY NAME.

HEALING FROM PTSD

 

"Do not worry over things that generate preoccupation, derangement and anxiety. One thing only is necessary: to lift up your spirit and love God."

 

-Padre Pio 

 

I recently published a report which referenced PTSD as a result of involvement in various government operations, especially citing intelligence professionals and military personnel.

PTSD, PSY WAR & NEUTRALIZATION: A PERSONAL COMMENTARY

https://barbarahartwellvscia.blogspot.com/2026/06/ptsd-psy-war-neutralization-personal.html

Having known so many of these individuals over the course of a lifetime, personally and professionally, I have had the opportunity (if it could be called that) to witness the syndrome firsthand. For the record, it used to be called Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, which I think is a more accurate designation. I don't like the word “disorder”, but since that is the term now commonly used, making an issue of it would only cause confusion.

And before going further I should state that not only have I been an observer, a witness of others with PTSD, I myself have suffered the symptoms for many years, due to my own background and the extremely traumatic events which repeatedly occurred. So this report will be more personal than most, even while protecting my privacy by revealing only the most general information.

Actually, I don't think I have ever known anyone who worked in the intelligence field, nor anyone who is former military, especially Special Forces, who did not suffer some form of PTSD, in varying degrees of severity.

The fact is, this sort of work comes with the kind of stressors which often involve life-or-death situations, and so can become an occupational hazard.

But I must state that PTSD is not a form of mental illness. It is not a state of delusional disconnect from reality. It is, rather, an effective response, a self-protective mechanism, a way of coping with untenable and unstable circumstances which cannot be dealt with by ordinary means. The fact is, the traumatic events happened. There are lasting effects, as with any form of physical or psychological injury. And that cannot be discounted. When seen from the perspective of 'natural law', it is an instinctive tendency of self-preservation.

My knowledge of PTSD comes primarily from experience (both my own and that of working with others), and less from any of my formal training in psychoanalysis, though that factors in too, and provides some degree of objectivity.

In brief, an outline of my professional background: My formal training is in Jungian analysis, as well as related disciplines. I am not a “psychologist”, nor do I hold any such academic degree. Other than that, there is my seminary training, specializing in pastoral counseling and my years in Christian ministry and private practice in counseling.

I take a dim view of most conventional methods of psychology, as they don't address the deeper issues, especially of a spiritual nature. Perhaps most valuable of all (at least to me), is my work as a profiler, combining various methods which produce results, rather than sticking to rigid protocols, which often don't work. Book learning alone is meaningless without direct personal experience.

The purpose of this report is to offer some ideas for those suffering from PTSD, ways to work toward healing, while maintaining the most stable, peaceful circumstances possible, depending on the individual situation.

And I have to stress the word, “individual”. What works for one person may not be appropriate for another. My hope is to provide some ideas, more or less generic, which can be modified to suit individual needs.

Personally, I am a devout Christian. So it should be understood that I can't help but view things from that perspective. But you don't have to be a Christian to benefit from the ideas offered here. I will not offer remedies of a dogmatic “religious” nature. And I will also not recommend anything which is anathema to my Christian faith, or which I feel might be offensive to my brothers and sisters in Christ.

DISCLAIMER

And I must, in good faith, include a disclaimer, for my own protection, and in respect for my readers. Nothing stated here is to be viewed as “advice”. Not “legal advice”, nor “psychological advice”, nor “medical advice”, nor “religious advice”. As a policy, and on principle, as a journalist with a public website, I do not offer any kind of advice to anyone which is unsolicited, including for the readers of my site, who are almost all strangers. In my view, advice is only to be offered when specifically requested by one person from another. “Advising” the general public can be dangerous, as it could be seen as a call to action, when no such thing is intended.

In this report, I offer only ideas which may be helpful, for stress management and stress reduction, which I have found to bring peace and healing for me and others; these are my personal opinions, not meant as advice. Caveat lector. For information purposes only. The readers may make of this report what they will.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF PTSD

-A feeling of being under threat, often vague, non-specific, undefined

-Exaggerated startle response to noises, especially loud and sudden, or to the appearance of an unexpected person in the environment

-Flashbacks (intrusive memories) of traumatic events

-Nightmares

-Unwarranted anxiety in mundane situations

-Severe emotional distress from any situation which reminds you of a traumatic event

-Avoidance of people, places, things, which remind you of a traumatic event

-Negative emotions of fear, anger, guilt, even when not appropriate to a particular situation

-Feelings of isolation from family, friends, colleagues, even when in their company

-Dislike of crowds, noise, bright lights

-Difficulty establishing trust in relationships

-Memory blocks connected to past events involving trauma

At this point, I should stress that for those suffering these (or other related) symptoms, I suggest seeking professional help, some form of therapy, so as not to feel overwhelmed and up against it alone. Perhaps starting with a prayer, to find a health practitioner and/or pastor who can provide the support you need.

Then, you can work on developing habits that will go a long way in bringing recovery, healing and peace into your life.

DEALINGS WITH PEOPLE

Dealings with people are usually the source of most stress. Of course, that could be said about anyone's life, it's just far more difficult for those with PTSD.

So I will start with this: Don't expect anyone to understand, nor to offer the support you need –the operative word being “expect”.

In a “normal” life, I think most people would have a “reasonable expectation” of understanding and support from those closest to them, at least in healthy relationships.

But with PTSD it is a rare situation for you to have anyone whose support and loyalty you can rely on. For those who do, you are blessed. For most of us, that is not the case, and knowing that can save endless agony by having expectations which won't be fulfilled.

People will generally not understand what is happening to you, or how you may be responding to events or circumstances. Most often, they will misinterpret your feelings and motives, usually projecting their own views, feelings, opinions on you. Thus, they will make assumptions which are far from the reality of your situation.

Generally, rather than offering support, due to their inaccurate perceptions, they are more likely to bring blame, criticism and judgment.

Some examples:

Those with PTSD are likely to have suffered from a number of injustices – and are outraged as a result.

The people around you may perceive your righteous outrage and pursuit of justice as “vengeful” or “spiteful”. You may feel frustrated, as you know there is no malice in your heart.

If you are reclusive, or concerned about privacy, they may see you as pathologically antisocial. For you, solitude may simply be a way of finding peace, of enjoying respite from the constant noise, activity (and often, drama) of social interactions.

If you are reserved in your interactions with others, they may see you as being a “snob”, when in reality you are simply exercising caution and discretion. People with PTSD tend to be wary and hyper-vigilant, needing time to get to know others before feeling “safe”.

And remember, this report is meant to specifically address former intelligence professionals and military veterans, though there is some overlap with 'ordinary' people.

PERSONALITY TYPES & PTSD

This analysis is generic, not meant to pigeonhole anyone, but hopefully to provide understanding of the differences in personality types, both in PTSD and non-PTSD individuals.

THE EXTRAVERT

He is likely to want to proclaim his personal issues openly, seeking sympathy, approval and validation from others. He may also promote collectivist ideology, in the belief that “we are ALL in this together”, or “we ALL should pursue the same ways and means”. He is likely to dish out unsolicited advice to others, thinking, in error, that because something works for him, it must work for everyone.

The problem here is aggression. Because they falsely believe that “we are ALL alike”, or, “we are ALL the same”, they are unable to see that there are considerable differences in individuals, and so they go gate-crashing into the lives of others, where they are not welcome. They think they know more than they do, and are the type of people who lack discernment and discretion. They may “believe everything they read”, until they are set straight by an irrefutable exposure of the facts.

THE INTROVERT

The introvert tends to hold his feelings close to the vest. They are generally far more discerning when it comes to their perceptions of others. But they find it harder to ask for help when they need it. There may be a general tendency to distrust other people, which might deprive the person of relationships which could have been mutually helpful. The introvert does not seek approval from others, nor does he follow cultural trends in the society. He is often the lone wolf, rather than a pack animal.

From my observations, PTSD is harder for the introvert to deal with, since he feels he is up against it alone, and that no one understands. But then, he is unlikely to give others a chance to understand. However, he is usually willing to listen to others, and offer comfort to them, even while he feels deprived of such comfort himself.

The introvert is more likely to seek comfort in spiritual pursuits, and are more often found in monasteries than the extravert.

So, both types may have advantages and disadvantages. Knowing which type is closer to your personality can help you choose the best options for dealing with people, and developing habits which bring peace and healing.

SOME IDEAS FOR COPING WITH PTSD

Again, these ideas are general, and some may involve little more than using common sense. And I have found that they have helped me and others I have counseled.

PTSD is painful, emotionally and sometimes physically. Stress can bring on symptoms, such as high blood pressure, muscle tension, flare ups of the pain of arthritis or old injuries, exacerbation of chronic pain.

[REMINDER: This is NOT medical advice!]

The main idea is to avoid stress, whenever possible. Secondary is to manage stress when it can't be avoided. Adopting these habits will obviously depend on your personal circumstances; whether you live with a family, or alone. The nature of your work, whether you are an employee, or independent, etc. etc.

WAYS TO AVOID STRESS

SLEEP

If sleep is a problem for you (insomnia, nightmares, sleep disturbances):

Try to make appointments or schedule activities in the afternoon, to remove the pressure of a morning deadline.

Try to retire before midnight, if possible.

Research some natural remedies (herbal supplements, teas) which are relaxing and can enhance sleep. These remedies are thousands of years old, part of God's creation. They are not drugs and have no side effects. Chammomile, melatonin, valerian, are just a few that I have been using for decades. I have used naturopathic medicine for my entire adult life. But always, if you are unsure, ask a doctor.

Use a sound machine. These are available in most pharmacies and are inexpensive. The sounds of rain, ocean waves, a brook, are soothing and can also mask other noises in the environment. I don't ever go to sleep without the sound of rain (that's my favorite). When I lived near the beach, it was the ocean (no machine needed.)

READING. Reading before sleep can be relaxing, depending on the material you choose. Personally, I have been reading the Psalms most nights for many years. I have found that reading the Bible also puts my mind at rest before saying my prayers.

Prayers before sleep. Even if you are not “religious”, you can still pray. God will hear you, I promise.

Pray for peace and the protection of guardian angels for you and your loved ones, whether they are present or not. Ask God to bless your home every night. Also pray for healing, for yourself (including the symptoms of PTSD) and for others as well. My prayers are always for all my friends and family, for all my brothers and sisters in Christ (known and unknown) and for all those in need. We may not know who they are, but guaranteed, God does.

ACTIVITIES

Find things to do which take your mind off troubles, problems and which don't cause stress.

For many people, being out in nature is peaceful and healing. A walk in a forest, on a mountain trail, on the beach, releases tension while you can enjoy the beauty of God's creation. When you are in motion you are less likely to be anxious. You can walk alone, or with a friend, or (best of all!) a dog. I don't have a dog, but I love them and they make great walking companions. Meeting dogs in my travels while walking is always a blessing. Sometimes I even get a kiss!

COMPANION ANIMALS

I love animals, just as many people do. They are such a blessing. They love us, no matter what, and they are always there for us. Especially if you live alone, having a pet can bring peace and healing into your home. Cats are easier to care for than dogs, as they don't need to be walked, and are less messy. And I have found them to be just as affectionate -even though a cat will let you know: You're not the boss of me! Animals are great therapy for PTSD.

SPORTS. Depending on your physical condition, you can choose a sport you enjoy. This can help get your mind off negative thoughts and reduce anxiety. Sports also provide a way to be with other people where the focus is on the game, not personal dramas you'd like to avoid.

THE COMPANY YOU KEEP

This can be a minefield for people with PTSD. It is important to be in the company of people who are the least likely to cause stress for you. And you don't want to be in an environment where there is conflict among the people, whether a home or a workplace; that is guaranteed to set off stress.

As mentioned above, even the people closest to you may not understand your feelings or your responses to stress. But you can choose not to discuss certain issues with them, once you realize this.

Rather than agonize over their lack of understanding, or getting into a conflict with them over it, acknowledge to yourself the truth about the situation.

Everyone has “special needs”. Meaning we are all individuals. You can let others know what your needs are (for instance, no loud noises), and if they are unwilling to accommodate you, then you are free to seek another environment, with people who do understand, and who will accommodate you.

Conflicts with people are the worst sort of stress. I don't allow conflicts in my life. Sometimes that means I have to be alone, even when I would prefer company. But solitude with peace is always better than company with conflict. Especially for someone with PTSD.

So, you can ask for what you need, especially on nonnegotiable issues. But if they can't or won't help, leave it there, and look elsewhere.

You may not have a choice as to who are your family (blood relatives), but you do have a choice as to your friends. There will be people you love (friends and family), that might be a serious source of stress for you. This usually happens when they are trying to control you. Don't allow it, it's as simple as that.

You can still love them, of course. But you can decide when and where you meet with them, and what your boundaries are. If they don't respect them, you can walk away. Not permanently, but your own health and peace of mind has to come first. You're not doing them any favors by caving to their demands.

AVOIDANCE OF TRIGGERS

First, you have to know what is likely to be a “trigger” for you. I have known veterans who cannot handle loud noise (I can't either). An example here: A friend (who was ex-CIA) was visiting me in Maine. We were with a couple other friends (not ex-CIA) and decided to go to a restaurant on the beach for lunch. We got a table and ordered drinks. Everything was peaceful... that is, until a loud heavy metal rock band suddenly shattered the peace. I looked at my friend. He looked at me. No words were needed. I said, We're out of here, and I told the other friends just to finish their drinks and we would be outside.

It's true I hate that kind of “music”, but it didn't have the same effect on me. The point is, my friend knew me, and that I had his back, even though the others didn't understand.

And speaking of music, that can be another help to bring peace for PTSD. Depending on the type of music, that is. Heavy metal is stressful and discordant, not recommended to bring peace.

Personally, I was blessed to grow up in a home where both my parents were professional classical musicians.

My father worked at the Metropolitan Opera Company for 25 years, until he passed away in 1976.

Other than classical music, my favorite is Gregorian chants. I believe they are actually healing and they certainly lower my blood pressure. The added benefit is that demons hate them!

BECOME AN ACTIVIST

There is no greater remedy for those who have suffered grievous injustices than taking action.

I know from bitter experience that it is very easy to fall into the trap of allowing all the terrible things done to us by the bad guys to become an obsession which stops us from “getting a life”. But when we take action, we can at least know that it will make a difference, no matter how small.

Whatever the issue, whatever it is that has caused pain and suffering for you and your loved ones, pursuing justice is the best thing you can do.

Everyone may have a certain issue, or several, that they care about.

My grievances with the government could fill volumes. All the veterans, all the ex-intelligence people I've known feel the same. But some of us became activists, rather than silently wallowing.

And they've come after us with a vengeance. We've been persecuted, harassed and have even become pariahs in “polite society”.

We've been arrested for our activism. Some of us died for it.

We may not see justice in this life. But at least we know that we did something. We did what we could.

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

People with PTSD have a tendency to be anxious, more than most. Negative thoughts may intrude when you least expect them.

One way to counter this tendency is to count our blessings. We may not even realize how many blessings we have unless we take the time to think about it.

Making a list of blessings can help.

Even the most mundane things are on my list.

Like: I have a roof over my head.

One day, I went to morning Mass at my church. We had a guest Priest (as we often do). His accent was so thick, I had trouble understanding him. But during the homily, he was filled with joy, he was laughing and reminding us of a blessing: You are alive! Go and serve the Lord, and rejoice that you are alive!

Some final thoughts. PTSD is painful. And it's painful when the people around you don't understand. So, it's best to be discreet and selective whom you confide in.

Choose your confidants carefully. You don't need to give details, only what is comfortable for you. But don't ever let anyone discount your condition. You know it's real and that is what matters. Also, don't let anyone minimize your situation, or make light of it.

PTSD is real, it is painful. But it doesn't have to destroy your life. Where there is life, there is hope.

For those reading this who suffer PTSD, I pray that the ideas presented here have been of some help, even as simple as they may be.

And I pray for you peace, healing, and all of God's blessings for you and your loved ones.
