It is difficult for me with PTSD to know the things that evoke fear that are actual safety concerns, like in the past, to be cautious of versus those things that are social norms that I should push myself forward through the fears with trepidation but experience despite of the feelings. It is difficult to balance and am struggling with this as I venture out more into the public as of late. More issues have come up and knowing when to retreat versus to push is a constant struggle. I appreciated this insight into this writer's particular situation for perspective. Thank you, TheB for the article.
