This may sound strange, but I never realized that there was another word I could use for what I was besides survivor.

I like sufferer much better though...I have suffered, and I'm sick of being told that I'm a survivor, because, well, I guess I'm sick of surviving...it's essentially all I've done my whole life and sometimes I honestly think 'so what if i survived?' Just because I survived a series of moments, and periods of time doesn't mean I'll survive in the long run...

Didn't mean to be so morbid, but hey, this is for PTSD right?
