What and Who does it hurt?

I don't want you to think I'm uncaring saying that the best thing about this site when I came, was after all the jibberish from doctors and therapists that really didn't know squat about PTSD at the time, and screwed me up more than I already was, hopefully you've already learned that the...

I think for most of us, even if only one incident was at the root of it, the causes of the manifestation are exponential by the time anyone sees the light and stops adding fuel to the fire. This is really about the only safe place I know now.

@Friday : I hope it's as encouraging for you as it is for me seeing that I'm apparently not the only person who pays cash as much as possible. In my case to avoid the invariable reaction from "strangers" seeing that the spelling of my name looks like it should be pronounced death. I mean...

@Bkinder Ouch. That hurt me too :(;)

Can I just say that I completely understand the reason some of us, (me anyway), might come across like one. It's hard not to after so many alleged professionals condemn in reports that one needs a medical dictionary to comprehend that in fancy words they've said they didn't believe a word you...

@Bkinder Thank-you. I feel less alone for being half way around the world
