Pain is pain. PTSD is not only for the battlefield. It happens to 15% of male and female who have been through a traumatic event. That can be a car accident, a death of a close one, childhood abuse, abusive relationship and so on. If a woman is "traumatized" (triggered) by someone only looking at her "wrong" - it's because she was already traumatized by something larger. Its not Post War Stress Disorder - It is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Living with PTSD is surviving every day. So does depression. One doesn't take the importance or affect of others.
What happened to me changed the direction of the rest of my life. i didn't even know i had PTSD for years afterwards.
