(((Open Eyes))) I'm so sorry you are going through such a difficult time - and yes, you are right that society tells us to minimise our reactions while therapists say the selfsame reactions are normal and should be acknowledged as such. The world around us is so inconsistent. I'm glad you felt able to vent a bit here - you spend so much time giving good advice and showing care for people here on PC, it's good to see you have the chance to receive support as well. It's true that PTSD is an injury, I sense that you need to have this recognised and validated - you have been hurt and need help to recover.

I don't really understand the legal system in your country so I have no idea how far through the process you have reached, but I hope things can be settled without too much more delay.
