Maybe you could say that not seeing PTSD as incurable is part of my denial?! All I know is that when facts are being tossed around it should be done so with the knowledge that others like myslef who have just had the kick in the gut that they are suffering from PTSD maybe frightened to see that it is not curable reported as a fact! Perhaps that is something people should be eased into being revealed!

On my course I have been taught to think with a critical mind (not in a negative sense, people see the word critical and see it as a threat) and not make the mistakes that we do when accepting things - I guess you could be given both sides of the story then left to make your own mind up - otherwise it seems like there is an agenda behind supporting a theory and projecting that on to others - that of course is my insight/perception.

In no way do I believe that this forum is not helpful or theraputic - I guess I am just trying to approach this disorder with a balanced mind - but then PTSD does not even facilitate that process so whether something is balanced or not is based on percpetion and what people choose to believe.

I do realsie that right now i am considered an outsider to those who have belonged here for some time, it's the in-group, out-group dynamic - I am seen as the out-group and could pose a threat to your society on here. I am not a threat just passionate about being fair and presenting facts as and when they do become that!

For me believing that is not curable is not comprehendable right now! maybe it is more realistic that the symptoms become more managable? I moved/ran away to Canada the first time PTSD was put forward - so that is an insight into my struggle with acceptance!

What is curable? - to one person it maybe that the symptoms of it are managable? To another it may mean that you will never experience the symptoms of PTSD again?!

Life is about balance - that is all I am offering/suggesting/looking for.

I wish you and your family all the best and much much hope!
