That comment is the most ignorant in my book. I've been fighting this for a long time. You can't control flashbacks, nightmares, and such. It's not something you can "just let go". Ughh
Long time PTSD sufferer here as well. I know what you mean. "Let go of the past." Wow, that sounds great, never **** ing thought of that. Thank you, you've cured me!

Sorry, you deal with that, too. A lot of people just don't understand PTSD; not unless they have to deal with it themselves.
