Hi

Great comments! I only discovered a few years ago that I had undiagnosed PTSD. In fact I have severe PTSD and some days it is very painful. I guess Mr Joe Public will just tell you to stop dwelling on the past or think positively. If only they could understand what it is like to go through this. My family would surely say that I'm overly-sensitive or stuck in the past or that I'm crazy. I think on the whole most people have no comprehension of it. I've also been to some therapists who prescribe CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) which in my case had little effect. When you are experiencing significant deep pain, blocking it or trying to think positive simply does not work!
