Hi split - I am new to PTSD diagnosis and I have a hard time explaining it and getting people to believe it is real (maybe that includes myself - It seems like it should be like the movies - war veterans etc... but I know otherwise ) I can function and am only "mildly" symtomatic most of the time except for rage (which is very disturbing) so I keep thinking (hoping) it will go away - therapist tells me "Good luck with that - it is good to have hope" It is not easy to explain I feel "bad" because of something that happened 30 years ago. and current stress has kicked it into high gear -
sorry - I meant to say - I understand - and I can relate
take care
