 PTSD is a difficult struggle because anxiety can strike at any point. It can be difficult to function in a job, function in relationships, because your anxiety might strike out of nowhere. The trouble with PTSD is you have nervousness, you have anxiety, you have constant negative thoughts in your mind. In your mind, you're just still strapped in rough situations that you've been in. Some of the symptoms are intrusive symptoms where things intrude on your mind, such as bad memories or nightmares, anything which intrudes on you and causes you distress. Causes are wide-ranging. They can range from actual or threatened death to witnessing traumatic events to learning about traumatic events or sexual violence. I did four years in the Navy and went to about eight different countries. I was a master of arms. When I was deployed, there was a keyboard in the chapel and I would go in there and I would start teaching myself composition. Composing music helps me because you're focusing on a new future for yourself. It kind of gives me an outlet to sort of express myself and my emotions and it gives me something big to look forward to, kind of like the greater voice is out speaking the negative voices in your head that PTSD brings along with. You're focusing on a new future for yourself and you're not going to carry the things that you've gone through in your past and your future. Ever since I was very young, I was gravitated toward piano and all I knew was at that age that I wanted to be on stage before my piano.
