How you going mate, and glad you joined. I think this is the right place for you mate, because PTSD is PTSD, regardless how you got it. Yes, I am a vet also, but PTSD is the same through us all, it only changes in intensity and quantity of symptoms really at any given moment.

Wow ha... I agree with you about putting yourself in trauma's way. I can see why you have made the move to a nurse, being the taking lives to now saving lives, as it gives some purpose and healing to yourself in order to do good in life. Many with PTSD move into fields like this, not so much nursing or any emergency type work where they are exposed to more trauma, but more jobs and positions where they can help people, regardless what it is, just help and give their own soul some inner peace from the trauma suffered. Its therapeudic, to say the least. I know there are some nurses here with PTSD, and I think you might just get the answers or helpful solutions from experience you need to keep going.
