I have a question about us with PTSD. How come 90% of people with PTSD can completely heal. I must be a pussy or a faker I guess because I clinicly died and layed on the ground and suffercated to death in my own blood. I guess I should just shake it off and grow up and get over it. I truly dout that people who truly suffer from real PTSD ever fully recover because we are fine its sociaty that is the problem. Speed dial 911 when we are in crisis send the cops and destroy our lives and shoot us dead in most cases. Our symptoms save our life and we don’t want to die so we survive in the manner that saved or life so to not have those normal symtoms would be abnormal.
I have no idea how you could just shake it off and grow up and get over it. I really, really wish you the best with the healing process, however fast or slow it goes…
