I didn't know how to respond to someone who thought I shouldn't be opening a package with a knife because he thought that with a knife in my hand I might attack him! That is certainly not the case. I've never attacked anyone with a knife since I've had PTSD. Mental illness has a really bad stigma and with the media reporting people who have killed people and they think the killer had a mental illness. That really doesn't help us, does it?
