Hellion, thank you for your answer!
Hm, I don´t know if she´s under medication but I really doubt it, since she officially "finished" therapy or "graduated" therapy (where I live you can only do therapy for 2 years, payed by insurance, then you´ll have to wait a few years before you can start new therapy), she didn´t just "quit" the therapy, which makes everything very strange, also concerning this therapist she had..
Well,she´s been like this since about one year into her therapy I´d say, so for
3 years I´d say.
I´ve tried to talk to her about it in writing, as I thought that way we both could be more honest, I knew I could be.
I tried for a long time, I spent a long time explaining and asking writing her e-mails, but it didn´t make a difference. According to her everything is "the same" and she´s feeling good.
Yes, well, on posting it here on the PTSD forum, it could be that she´s also traumatized by it, but I don´t know.
I don´t think she has PTSD as this is so extremely anxiety related and I don´t think she´s very much anxious.
I´m here for myself for PTSD, I´m sorry if it´s not fitting well, I just know that people here tend to be very open and supportive and give good advice, more than on the other forums, in my experience

Or maybe its some sort of psychological problem just doesn't sound like shes all that stable but is acting like she is. I really don't know what to do though aside from try to have a serious discussion with her about it...but that could also go terribly so I don't know.
How long has she been that way? Not sure quite why you posted it here...perhaps you are thinking she might be traumatized by the death of your father. SO what I would say about that is sometimes its not uncommon for people with PTSD to try and ignore it and suppress it to try to just move on, I've tried that though I don't think I went to an extreme of acting really happy all the time just better than i felt around people...so it could be something like that but I am certianly in no position to diagnose let alone do so over the interenet.
