Well Venus, I have a problem with it too. I have been doing a lot of trying to understand how it can just seem to take over. In fact anyone that has it feels the same way, thus the anger and rage and even depression.

I might have felt the same way as you had I not experienced it, but now I am no longer IGNORANT of it. And your still pretty young and I hope you never have it. And you will never understand it. But maybe if you studied it and could see how a brain can change from it, than you may be more understanding of it.

Some people have it and don't even realize it. No one wants to have it and they want to find a way to deal with it and as Byz puts it, he has been helped by a treatment team, I give him a lot of credit for that effort.

I think that living in a situation that can be termed as hell does leave its mark, we do call it PTSD. A disorder is when the brain has trouble bringing order to certain aspects of unwanted feelings or memories that are so ingrained in the brain that it remains very troubled even when one trys to overcome it.

But as most people with PTSD it is often useless to try to explain it to others, many don't know and many don't care to know. And I certainly prefer to deal with those that study it and understand it and accept the fact that it is difficult for someone that has it.

And I certainly don't say I know it all, but I do share what ever SUPPORT AND UNDERSTANDING that I can to others that do have different so called disorders.
