Understand that they do not understand. People with ptsd, like myself, actually complex ptsd, have been blasted out into the atmosphere and become the outsiders looking in, but if you turn from side to side, you see the rest of us broken minded ones, and its not so lonely.
You seem to have run into some pretty weird people, sorry for that, but you need to understand you can never be innocent again, that we know lifes warts and all and are in the real world, not the one you can pretend in, understand those that haven't gone through it will never ever understand what you have gone through, though they will tell you all the time they do.
They are the lucky ones, and why in God's name do people pretend to be a vietnam vet is beyond me, but they do. I understand them very well and I would never wish my brain on a innocent person.
Some are jealous because alot of us demand respect, we earned it from what we went through, but respect is earned, not just handed out.
I call them wannabes.
Ignorance is bliss, I only wish it was bottled, so I can take a break from myself sometimes.
Anyway I understand your anger, believe me, but understand you cannot understand the mind of the ignorant ones.
No one needs to know your business but you, and that doctor should have been reported to the ama, american medical assoc.
That was so wrong.
Blessings to you.
