I have functioned exceptionally well at certain junctures in my life, and have served in the US military (no trauma), but am currently interested in connecting with those who have developed PTSD from life situations other than military service or war.
Thanks to anyone who can make me feel less alone with this odd crossroads in conditions.

I am adopted and have borderline personality disorder which I contribute to the same things you mentioned. The things I have done which have caused run ins with the police, like public drunk, have caused major pstd.
