A counselor once told me I had a choice, I can accept who I am and be "crazy" and deal with my symptoms and move on with life or live in denial and not manage my symptoms. A light went on for me at that moment, it help me deal with a lot of the self-pity I had going on and helped me think--yeah so this happend to me, I'm definitely changed and have serious symptoms, BUT I still want a good life, and I definitely don't want what happend to shape the rest of my life. I still have my "bad" moments, but I think accepting yourself, ptsd or whatever other label society wants to stick on us, is a big step in the right direction.
