dolphin89,

I think that it may be important for you to know that even though I am not a vet, I have PTSD as well and

"Do other's have problems with feeling like you don 't fit in and can function in the civilian world? I get so frustrated with my co-workers and their work ethic and their mindless bickering and "important" conversations and problems".

this quote of yours above, just so you know, I struggle with this as well and I am just a regular civilian myself. Just want you to know that it is normal with PTSD as a whole.

I would thank you for what you did but I do not want to upset you. I want to respect and support you. Other vets have told me that they don't like to hear certain sayings as it upsets them.

Welcome to PC. I am sorry that you are struggling with PTSD, it is a lot of work to understand and work through PTSD. Please be kind to yourself, as it does take time.
It IS a challenge and you are welcome to come here for support as much as you need it.
