Flying my drone to help with PTSD symptoms
A few years ago I was diagnosed with PTSD by the doctors at the VA hospital. I’m a Veteran from the Iraq war and have had a few problems since my return home. I had begun talking to a Dr about my symptoms and they tried medication after medication to get my mood, anxiety, depression and so forth in Check. I still had a lack of interest in really doing any activity that I had previously enjoyed. That’s where I started to think of something different and ended up buying a drone. I got a good one, not one of these that crash every few seconds. I got one that took video and photos in high definition, because that was one of the biggest reasons I wanted one is to take beautiful pictures from the sky. I believe that taking pictures of your loved ones, nice sky’s, scenery, etc is a good healing tool and it’s fun to fly also. I traveled around some and have been able to take a quite a few good pictures of family events, of beautiful scenery and of things that people need to sell, like houses and property. That always seemed to take away a lot of my stress and made my depression symptoms not as bad.
