    General All Alone

    Hi, You are not alone! I recommend you read "Trauma & Recovery" by Judith Herman, M.D. This is not a "self-help" book but a exploration of PTSD in an historical context from domestic violence to military and political terror. As a survivor with PTSD it is one of the few books I found resonance...
