I have identical tendencies, and I have resigned to the believed-by-me-to-be-fact that even all of humanity working together could never save all of humanity. I know there are good resources available for overcoming PTSD, I know anyone who has overcome anything can be helpful to someone else with the same challenge...and then right there, one-on-one with others like ourselves, is where you can make a difference in this ugly world.
