I was saying that very thing to my son just yesterday.I was very upset about something and was voicing my opinion and thoughts about it.I became frustrated when I was told it was 'because of my PTSD".I explained that anyone would be upset in the same situation.Sometimes I think it's used as a way to gaslight me into thinking it's just me over reacting.

Absolutely true. I have both PTSD and chronic depression. I can guarantee I couldn't even cry at a funeral without somebody wondering if I'm relapsing again. Why aren't we ever allowed to have normal emotions in normal situations?
