It appears that a lynch pin to the diagnosis of PTSD here is that you suffered a traumatizing event which continues to haunt you (reliving experience, flashbacks, dreams etc.). If such an event occurred to me, I am not reliving it in flashbacks, dreams etc. and, as noted, I can't emotionally identify it.

So I don't know what to say. I feel a bit like someone who went to the support group, was warmly received (and thank you for that), but then slowly came to understand that he may have wandered in to the wrong session! :redface:
