Welcome Cragger65,
Don't ever think your experiences are insignificant, you have PTSD and how or when you developed this disorder is irrelevant.
You are in pain and you have come to a great place. This forum will give you the support, encouragement and understanding that will help you feel less alone and give you the information you will need to help control the disorder.
I am here because of my bf....who is now my exbf. He is the one that has PTSD (from being part of the UN in the Rwanda genecide).
Even though I don't have this disorder, this forum has helped me understand and has given me much support. It will do the same for you ! :Hug_emoticon:
