Hi Morning Glory, This is a great post. Congitive theraphy classes have been most helpful with my understanding the problem. I don't fully understand it yet but, some of the PTSD is learned. Because of past experinces I have learned these negitive thoughts about myself. However, they are helping me to understand that if I use the tools I can also learn the positive.
I am using I because I only want to express my experience. I suggest that anyone having problems with PTSD seek professional. There is hope, it will take time but, you can recover. Have a great day. Don W
