I was only diagnosed with PTSD since 11/11/15. Easy date to recall Vet's day. Of course my PTSD goes back much further. In fact it goes back to being raised by a mom who took dietpills ie uppers to lose weight. A dad who was loving but traveled a lot on business. No idea why more traumatic memories keep coming back. Memories going back to high school. Several decades ago. I don't believe one gets over it I think you get through it and try your best to good , fair to yourself. I hate it when people without PTSD we all had bad things happen. Get over it.
