A question comes to mind. Is there anything such as PTSD groups for non service related PTSD? I am in a group at the VA for service related PTSD. Except I don't fit in. Out of 18 there, I am the only one with a Purple Heart. Been trying to return the thing as it was a mistake. I was shot by friendly fire, and fully recovered. I am also the only one in the group not to have addiction problems. My PTSD was unrelated to Viet Nam, it occurred after. And I have no intention of going for a pension for PTSD. For that, I am deemed as crazy for turning down the money, for which I have my reasons. It seems as though there is no place for those suffering PTSD from non combat situations. The only friend I have there had his back broken in a fall. Worse than having PTSD is not being able to find a support group. As here, no one mentions the cause.
