Open Eyes ... sorry that you, too, have had to share the PTSD experience and i appreciate knowing that you realize there are some differences between combat ptsd and the others. I always feel that my symptoms and even the cause is so much less that what other have experienced that I have to force myself to post these things.

We share a lot in the details, but I'd have to say that if we knew each other personally, I'd be starting to break off communications about now.

I am glad that you shared this Troy. I hope that you can see that even though I have not seen what is behind your curtain, I know enough about that curtain to say, you are not really alone, even though it feels that way sometimes.

You've mentioned an article before, but I have no idea where or how to do that. Can ya give me a clue?

Thanks to you and the many others here who have put up with my on-again, off-again participation in PC and for putting up with my whining about the symptoms. Your allowance for all of this has brought me a long way, encouraged me to get a formal diagnosis, and just as high on the list, let me see that I'm not alone.
