I think,maybe,PTSD presents itself differently for everyone.

First I am sorry your both dealing with PTSD. Second, that really helps knowing a husband wife team have it but it presents differently. I felt like i was trivalizing or making a mockery of it by telling my family my diagnosis as my family is full of military vets who have it and mine is different then theres is. Like i felt like they thought I was just calling it ptsd but it wast that.
