I was going to ask how you can drive 2500 miles when I can barely leave my
house, but I know it affects people in different ways.

There are so many variation of PTSD now that the difference between one PTSD
diagnosed person and another, is about as great as the difference between a
cat and a dog. I think half the battle of getting help is that they are
offering the same treatments to a group of people whose symptoms differ so
much.

Hi info!

First, a belated welcome to AST-P. I am really sorry that you seem to
qualify for this ng.

Very true. It also helps that I have been in treatment for more than 10
years, in a system that was 'made for men'.

Secondly, I could not disagree with you more. Folks with PTSD are
hypervigilant in seeing attacks from anyone at anytime in anyplace. We
need to learn how to STOP this behavior before we can get specific help.

It seems apparent to me that without some self-control and a safe place
to learn this ability, we are all lost.

YMMV

Smile and there will be something to smile about!
