Your welcome, yes, it is very hard to have family members understand how difficult PTSD is and that we cant just snap out of it or get over it, if only it was that easy. I hope you watched those video's of Dr Oshburg explaining PTSD, oh it really helped me to understand it more myself. It is so hard to understand this diorder or whatever it is, damage, injury to the brain? I don't know, all I know is that it is so hard to understand, pretty scary and even embarrassing at times. I hear you, it sure is nice to know your not alone isn't it?

I don't know if you are close at all with family but I had my husband visit my therapist and my husband now understands that I truely struggle and all of my complaints up to this point are all symptoms of PTSD. And when I visited that site I could see how my own PTSD symptoms progressed and I really wish it was better explained to me when it started.

I hope your therapist helps you, you may even give your new therapist the address for www.giftfromwithin.org so your therapist can watch it if he/she hasn't as they are learning more and more about it all the time and not all therapists keep up to speed with the new knowledge and theraputic techniques for helping patients with this issue.
