I just say I have PTSD. I know I am suffering but in my mind I don't want to have that attitude. I feel like I am doing OK right now.....I have seen some really brutal palliative care cases and they sometimes without the proper treatment now those people suffer. Today I have a manageable case of PTSD...it is almost like when you are in an acute phase...yes we suffer but when it is chronic and manageable...it is something we learn to adapt our lives to live with.
