I do like Americans. I just think you have different perspective of things.
And I have not been brainwashed. FFS. Can you refrain from saying it in future, it offends me.
I don't consider PTSD a weakness and never have I ever said that. It is just what happens to you if you come to bad situation past your breaking point. It's human. Just like breaking leg is not illness. It's more of injury... that happens. Nobody will think you are weak because you broke your leg when you fell. YOu are not weak for getting scars when you get burned. So you are not weak because you got psychological injuries from bad situations.
To me the "disorder" tag implies... "you are disordered for getting affected".
Again, just my view.

As I said in my PM reply, did not say you were brainwashed. Said the Soviet Union used brainwashing so for me to talk about PTSD probably makes no sense. I could be wrong.
PTSD is not just a bad situation, in the case of C-PTSD it is an ongoing bad situation that last for years. I know that PTSD is considered to be an injury not an illness by some. I used to think that way. Now, I'm not so sure. I know I am not weak. For me, it was more then injuries, it affected my brain wiring as it happened before adolescence.
I did not come up with the word disorder and I do not have a problem with it.
I appreciate you sharing your views. Thank you.
I also have C PTSD and have posted in the C PTSD forum, because I do have both, however C PTSD can not be diagnosed on paper by insurance. I think I need to stay in the C-PTSD forum.
