It will be interesting to see if there is any feedback to this or if it may just be considered and be again misunderstood.

I dont do well with asking for help and I have come to know that for me, that goes way back. It is intertwined with the fact that, from what my therapist is telling me, is many events in my life
effected me with PTSD symptoms in my brain. I do not want to embrace PTSD, however I do have to understand how it has somehow effected me without my truely knowing. I have been told that this last tramatic event has presented me with what is now a very crippling case of PTSD. Unfortunately I am also experiencing symptoms of the PTSD being exaserbated by not truely being able to somehow just get to the point where this tramtic event can be truely "PAST".

I am curious how other members have similar feelings as me. Do you feel you are misunderstood as well?
Is it hard for you to express your troubling life experiences ? Do you feel that if you talk about your personal struggle it may only serve as a way to invalidate or harm you in some way? Do you feel that if you reveal your personal struggles it may prevent you from somehow using your positive constructive strengths? Do you think that by addressing your weaknesses it will serve to only convince your brain or persuade your brain to give into these weaknesses?
