So true! I understand those who do struggle with aggression, substance abuse etc. They deserve help.
But it feels invalidating when just because someone is quiet, shy and able to work they assume such a person is fine and not really a problem. I think we deserve to have our own diagnosis which would validate us.
Long term feelings of not fitting in, of desperate trying to be exactly as everyone else and do all your duties 100% because you're afraid people are going to hate you for not being perfect... These are all real problems but they are reluctant to acknowledge them because they can't be observed from the outside and it doesn't seem it could cause problems. Well what if being these "good people" is actually more exhausting than being antisocial?
I really do hope that cptsd will be recognised and it will be acknowledged that you can suffer from it even if you don't have visual flashbacks and don't have outbursts of rage.
