I agree with you. My PTSD is many, and varied since birth. There are times I must walk away from when I am watching others (strangers) hurting another or themselves. If I do not leave the area to where I cannot hear them I will become involved. This stirs up the many ugly feelings all over again which puts me in a serious health position as I try to calm down (Old and sickly) and work on forgetting what I just watched or listened to. One example is food shopping at Publix. This can happen anywhere. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps being seriously mistreated as I was prepared me for life. I still experience the horrors I lived with from birth till I ran away from the so called family. But the horrors continues in many other ways. Such is life. It is better now as years have gone bye but the memories continue to come back into my mind. There are times when I am being mistreated is when all comes back as I try to stop the mistreatment. I know this is a part of life but the original PTSD makes it difficult to work with and plays havick on my old age sick body. This is a sickness that will never leave me. I keep praying and work on helping myself, others and the animals. Love to all.
