@0101, you cannot bend a diagnosis to fit a situation. You cannot bend PTSD to fit the symptoms. There are plenty of other things this poster can have that have cross over symptoms with PTSD. And they all were listed. NO ONE is saying this poster's SYMPTOMS are not vaild. Why do they have to add up to PTSD to be vaild? What about the handful of other disgnosis this COULD fit into?
Just because it is not possible to be PTSD does not make the suffering or the symptoms less. And this bending to fit PTSD makes no sense to me. I faught my diagnosis for months because there was no way in my head that my trauma was near as bad as going to war. I got so pissed at my therapist and screamed at him because there was no way I had PTSD and here are people fighting for it. Why? What is the pay off of having PTSD? It is life long. Not having PTSD is a GOOD THING.
Miss diagnosis. That does not fit criteria A. Unless it was a poisiness spider. Which it could have been. But that is stretching it if you ask me.
Sexual assult (sex without consent) fits criteria A, forced or not, violent or not.
However, the definition of assualt is to make a physical attack on.

No joke, a cousin of mine had nightmares and flashbacks and therapy for MONTHS for ptsd from having a spider in her ear. I'm not even kidding. She really did have PTSD from a perceived threat of death thinking the spider was laying eggs that were hatching inside her head and potentially permanently harming her brain. The spider was real but the threat of death was not. But she was absolutely traumatized by this.

Go on a sex assault forum. It's full of teenagers feeling manipulated and used but they admit they weren't held down or forced
