I totally understand. I can put the biggest smile on my face and act like I am the brightest flower in the bunch, go home go to my room and cry so hard it hurts. My family all call me an old cry baby & I laugh with them because I'm tired of trying to tell them I'm so depressed. I've just Recently been diagnosed with PTSD which makes so much since.

I'm always telling my wife that I'm so tired physically an emotionally from trying to maintain my mind from flipping out an maintaining a regular life but it's so hard when your mind is going 0 to 60 real quick.All I want is to be me again.Be careful what medicine you take sometimes it just make ptsd even worse an then you come off them just to figure out that it just made situation worse.So happy to be able to talk to someone that understand.Sometime I don't tell my doctor everything because I don't want them to think I'm crazy just going threw a lot it been 5 years with ptsd an every year it has gotten worse

The messed up thing about having ptsd is that people act like you can just jump an get a job but they don't understand that once you get the job anything can happen to you or other people.Sometime I feel like a ticking time bomb waiting to explode people don't know how easy it could be for any of us to be the next on the news.

You're right about people not understanding what can trigger us. People like to startle me and hear me scream. They found out the hard way because I have hit people but didn't mean to. It was just a reaction! They think it is a big joke!
