Thank you for your post. I appreciate you posting the information in this community.

I have become very well educated in most aspects of PTSD due to my own illness. I recognize symptoms in some members on this site and I don't think they are aware that they may be living with PTSD.

Education, proper diagnosis and proper treatment are all key in learning to live with PTSD
