Thats not true I think that people become overwhelmed with the daily struggles of life and forget that others have a battle they are fighting.. I do hope you are feeling better and if you need to vent a talk I will listen...

Wolfen, I think there might be more than one PTSD support board on here. I'm a newbie, but started with the one I posted the link to (above) .It seems much more active than this one, and I've already had several replies to things I've posted. I hope you'll go over t here and take alook around. In the meantime, what can I do to help? You sound like you're having a rough time, and believe me, I get it. ~Clair

I don't find this so.

this support board is not a board of doctors or psychologists, its other people dealing with the same problems your dealing with. you can hear how other people are dealing with their problems but have to sort out what is good and what is bad and what will not help you in the least. there is ways of living with ptsd but it requires you to analyze what the cause was and how to adjust your life in order to be able to function and deal with people that can have no idea what you experienced in your life. realize that your not the only one who has had these life changing experiences. and there is a way for you to live a happy life feel good about yourself because your experience is a part of life and you can use it to make you a stronger person and more understanding of others and their problems because you are more intoned because of your experience. the whole process begins with you understanding yourself.

ptsd....it's different for each of us... some do better at handling it than others... lately due to the lack of sleep I'm getting really bitchy.. I snap a people for no real good reason... feel like chit all the time cause I also have Fibro... and suffer chronic pain from 11 years of being beaten like a animal as a child... so hey... being old, fat, angry, and just plain confused .... my shrink who's just a therapist... gets a jolly good laugh when I show up for that 400 dollar 40 minute session... nice to see some folks can laugh... I make fun of my pain...crack off color jokes...cuss, rant and just go bat chit crazy at times... I try to do that at home....alone.. I have a 22 year old learning disable son... he's never been employed...I blame it on him being a white male... and affirmative action laws .... oops that I goes...sorry my mind wonders off at times... hey was I comin in... or going out
