I just wanted to add Googly, I am truely sorry that you have to deal with PTSD and being misunderstood. I understand exactly what that feels like, it can be very lonely and it can also be even embarassing and bring out a lot of anger too.

I am working at it as well and I have those bad days too and I am trying to work at it.
And it isn't easy when people around us clearly do not understand our struggles and they can even trigger us in the way they react to us. The one thing we have to learn is how to deal with ourselves, understand ourselves and learn how to step back and learn ways to work around what happens to us when we are triggered. I hear you Googly, I understand your anger, me too. But I am really trying to rise above it, and it is very hard to rise above, I don't always get there, some days are pretty bad. But I continue to try, one day at a time, and sometimes one moment at a time.

Your not alone Googly, I understand the battle, I want you to at least hear that, know that your not alone, even though it feels that way.
