I have been posting on a couple of Facebook groups that deal with PTSD. On one I
can link to stuff I have written already. On the other, I don't think it
is allowed so I don't.
I am really finding it so wonderful to be
able to help encourage people to look at PTSD as normal and not weird
but definitely unusual. For instance, vets with PTSD get enraged by
waiting because they are not waiting for whatever it is the person with
them is waiting for. For them waiting is dangerous and can get you
killed, so while you are waiting to be served, they are waiting for
death. It is a really different perspective and makes their reactions
more understandable.
