‘Labeling everything as a mental illness is a road I don’t go down’ why on earth are you on a PTSD website then? What are you doing here?

Thank you for this. I was I initially told there was no way I could have PTSD. a) I was too functional and b) my trauma happened as a child. Long story short I was eventually diagnosed with PTSD. Turns out people with PTSD are pretty good at trying to get on with things until they get a reality check slap in the face, like I did having my own kids. Hmmm

You’re welcome. The majority of those with PTSD function in normal daily life… it is the minority who do not. Most with mental health a fully functional people who struggle behind the scenes, often in private, with their mental health issues. Most people would never know someone struggled with a mental health issue… and most don’t even know when they have a mental health issue… they just keep on going, things get better, and they never sought treatment or such. Resilience is strong in the majority of mental health in society.
