Anyone Else With PTSD?

@cambriaclover, maybe the worst of PTSD is the ever present low level of anxiety and depression, sometimes peaking in a screaming and crying "spell" brought on by an unexpected close call. Loud noises bring on exaggerated startle responses of fluttery hands and rapid breathing. Guess there is not a worse response just different ones to various circumstances. Expect the unexpected.

@lakelifelady; @cambriaclover; @dandi: Good morning. I started a post in early December in the Lung Cancer groups about PTSD and cancer recurrences. It's a big deal with survivors, as you can all imagine- and other disastrous illnesses and diseases. I'd like to share this with you and also invite you to read my blog post on it. Let me know what you think.
