Your welcome PTSDlovemycats,

For a long time I really didn't understand PTSD. At first I thought it was something that would just go away. But it doesn't just go away and it has to be treated very seriously by whoever has it. And the first thing one has to do is understand what it really means. I have been really working on that, as it is so hard to explain and like other people who have PTSD I too struggle to somehow try to tell others, its so hard, and Im trying.

When I write about it now, I think about what I wanted to know and needed to know after I was told I am battling PTSD. And as people who don't have it talk about just do this and just do that. I know how hard it is and how angry and frustrating it can be when just doing this and that doesn't make it disappear.

And I realized how extremely personal it is and I just want people who have PTSD,
I understand the struggle. And it is not about being retramatized or running or coping, it is about taking the time you need to really morn it. And not be so ashamed or angry or feel guilty it really takes time to morn it and each person is different as it is so personal.
