One of the things I wonder about is if men experience PTSD a little different then women do. I think men tend to have "more anger that they also turn inward". I think women, though they do experience anger may get more "emotional".

"It's not just PTSD, but the view of looking and moving forward instead of back." quote TheDragon

I think "depending on the trama" the challenge of PTSD, is wanting to "look forward" but being "haunted by the past" and not understanding why.

I can still see in my posts in this thread that I was triggered, I still see the PTSD peaking through in my writing. I don't see that right away, I have to wait and revisit it and the context of the topic I am addressing. And I know that for me at least, I do find it insulting/triggering when people respond to my challenge as "me" having emotional problems. And that is basically from how "dismissive" people were to me IRL when it was not just emotional for me.
