Some of the people who have tried to help you have had a life much harder and more traumatic than anything you could ever imagine. None of these people have become resigned to what has happened to them or to their future and struggle heroically everyday to live life as fully as they can and to get better. They have tried many things over the years, some help them some dont. If you are going to be immature, obnoxious and arrogant, perhaps you need to find a new sandbox to play in.

I have no doubt that most (if not all) of the people on here have had far more difficult lives than my own - the first 21 years of my life were absolute bliss, and I am more than happy to admit that. That said, I would put the last 5 years of my life up against anything that anyone's had to go through. That's not the issue here though, and I have no interest in making it an issue.

I have yet to read anyone other than myself on this site who has any sort of aspirations of doing away with their PTSD entirely, rather they hope to make their lives as good as possible despite their condition, as such I think it's perfectly valid to say that most people here are resigned to the continuance of their condition (this is not to say that they're resigned to not living a good life, they are just resigned to living the rest of their lives within the parameters that their PTSD allows, however wide those parameters may be). This is a perfectly fine decision on their part I'm sure, but like I said, this is not for me.

I apologize if my tone was caustic, but I have run afoul of about 3,000 amateur psychologists over the past 5 years, so I have little tolerance for people who want to craft nonsensical solutions to the trauma that my body is dealing with (like I said, this trauma is likely less than the traumas that most people on this site are dealing with, but it's still crippling my ability to live a life that's worth living, so I would ask you to refrain from undermining anything I've been through in the future).

In closing, if you are going to be immature, obnoxious and arrogant, perhaps you should take your precious sandbox and shove it up your pitooty.
