Fishing is the fix for a man with PTSD who was nearly stabbed to death: 'Saved my life'
Fox News
A U.K. man who suffers from "horrific" PTSD has found that spending time fishing in the great outdoors has helped him enormously — now he's coaching others toward better mental health.
After the 1998 attack, Beeman feared being in crowds and being approached by people from behind — and dealt with "crippling anxiety," SWNS also said. "One of my friends took me fishing. I rediscovered my love for nature and wildlife then." "I realized that fishing was helping my recovery so much, so I wanted to pass that on." "I've managed to work through it with fishing." Maureen Mackey is managing editor of lifestyle for Fox News Digital.
Seven years ago, after kidney disease put him in the hospital for a year, his PTSD returned "with a vengeance."
