I manage really well and have learned to fake it till it’s just part of my life. BUT, when the shit hits the fan, I’m a complete mess and then people know that I have full blown PTSD, suicidal and non coherent. Just a babbling crying mess.
I think it’s just a fallacy that people think if you have PTSD that you’re a druggie, living under a bridge unable to be even part human. That I believe was due to the care that our soldiers “didn’t get” when they came back from Vietnam. They were left to deal on their own and many could not integrate back into society.
Today, we have better help, we’ve learned much more about PTSD and earlier intervention. Therapy and therapist have a much better handle on what helps and what doesn’t and patients are more aware.
I think the biggest thing that stands out for most people with PTSD is the anxiety part of PTSD. In today’s world, that’s not unusual to have anxiety.... Even the so called “normal” people can have anxiety for time to time....
