highly developed creative/problem solving skills - because ya gots to get creative/problem solving to avoid triggers... manage triggers..so perhaps.. PTSD... learning how.. to manage...

more senistivity - I see this as a positive... because I "sense" danger faster... due to my PTSD... so am able to perhaps stay safer...perhaps.. a heightened awarness.. is what I mean..

thinking ahead... try to look before I "leap"... due to PTSD... I think... cause... no.. I do not want to experience a "flashback"... and again I choose to see this as a "positive"...

Empathic... for me... I think I am a more empathic person than I would have been... if not for my PTSD... because... there is something for the experience of "walking in someone else's shoes"..

A look.. at the past... learning more about myself.. about who I was.. about what happened.. in my childhood...and understanding that
PTSD... allows me to do this... and I understand.. that other people would not see that perhaps as a positive... but for me.. as a DID person - the flashbacks... sometimes.. allows me a "peek" at my past world.. so that I can help change... a give healing to alters...

peace...
