Roxy,

I forgot to tell you many people with PTSD are very angry. And they need to be able to express that anger. It's part of the healing process.

While some who have PTSD are very sincitive, others are very blunt. I'm sure you are aware that different people handle things differently.

I use to be one of those angry people who said what ever popped into my head and didn't even realise what I had said and I didn't care.

If people realy open up we may have a lot of that. You may even be one of them later on. And that's OK. That is part of the healing process too. Because of that a lot of people may not be nice. It's part of a process, and it may be someones personality.

I've talked to Nam Vets who have PTSD, and some of them seemed VERY mean. They won't put up with a lot of things, they just can't. Because, like a lot of us, they they have not got past that part of there treatment, or are not being treated at all.

I didn't get treatment until after I stopped feeling numb and started to cry all the time. And then only because someone I respected told me that something was wrong and subjested that I see a dc. At first I was diagnosed with depression, then later with PTSD. I still have depression, in fact I may have been born with it. Yes, depression can be hereditary, but not always.
