Is it normal to feel that you have lost a part of who you are? After a traumatic event no one can ever be the same. I keep asking myself am I a wiser person because of what I went through or did it kill a part of my soul. Now that I have been through ptsd I understand it better and I see it everywhere and see many men suffering in silence. Around those men I modulate my behavior to be more gentle and non judgmental of their behavior and some who laughed at me for being off work came and opened up to me about their trauma. I was also reading some stuff that said to overcome ptsd you have to become a whole new person. Reading that I'm thinking, well I liked who I was before, I didn't want to change that, maybe tweak a bit but overall I was quite satisfied with who I was. But now I am stuck with this, or feel stuck with it anyway. All these new feelings that were not there before really changed how I do things now. What are your thoughts on this matter.
Cheers.
