Well, when someone develops PTSD, they don't understand what it means, I didn't. I had no idea how bad it was going to get either. I have had to really work hard at understanding it. As I mentioned, I went through a period where I was extremely detached and I did not understand what that meant.

When most new members join here, they are often very confused about it too, I had all the same questions myself, I did not understand it.

I hover over this forum because I definitely know how scarely and lonely it is and I also know how hard it is to get help for too. I even know how one's own family can treat them the worst too. Oh, I know exactly "why" a person avoids and isolates. It's very important to have the right help and support for it. It is definitely not your fault, it really is an injury and it really takes a person time to understand it and slowly work through it. I also know anyone who struggles with it REALLY DOES DESERVE TO GET SUPPORT FOR IT.
