There are many folks I know that have been in therapy (I once was) that want others to get therapy as it helps them and we are all different. It would take a highly skilled professional to determine if someone has PTSD. Many times PTSD is misdiagnosed and this can turn into a horrific experience.
I know I would "not" diagnose another as even professionals "can" and "do" make mistakes.
If this shoe happens to fit some...I apologize for starting this post on PTSD.

i also would like to share this as it might help others. i have 2 cats and 2 dogs. if i ever feel so depressed and want to harm myself i think of the animals. what will happen to them? i must be here to take care of them. by taking care of them i am taking care of myself. since i do not have any family this is soul saving at least to me.
@peach. You are so right about pets! I have dogs and have had animals all my life. I do not think I would have survived without them!
My service dog is an important member of my support team. Her loyalty and the services she provides have saved my life and my sanity.

dear parus, everyone makes many mistakes. it just happens. i don't think we mean to hurt. i see a professional and i am lucky that i found him. he does help me also with the medications. he helps me to understand myself and my actions and reactions to my life experiences and the now problems that seem to always exist. my ups and down, mostly downs. try to spoil yourself. do what you enjoy without feeling guilty about it. to me, the problems will always be there i try to get my mind into something that will busy me to the point of forgetting. take care.
