hi and welcome. I am not a combat veteran or any kind of veteran for that matter but was married to one for years. for many years that is all I was around was other vietnam vets. I even dreamed I was in war just from hearing their stories and living with my then husband. there is some difference to combat ptsd and other ptsd. the biggest difference is those guys were in constant fear. every day every minute they were in the field. I don't know what your story is so it is hard to know if it can compare to that of combat or not. I am not saying combat is worse than ptsd in civilians. I can offer you a huge hug though
