Five of my friends know about my PTSD, so does my parents and my boyfriend. Their reactions was completely different. My dad didnt want to talk about it while my mother thought it was something caused by lack of food and sleep (eventhought Ive explained to her about my trauma).
One friend told me I was a liar (ex friend) and that I made it up to get more attention. The others tried to get more facts about it all to understand me better.
My boyfriend does understand and talks with me about it as soon as I need to, and also takes good care of me.

I recommend people who have PTSD to talk about it with their loved ones, not just to make things clear, its healing to practise talking to others about it and just "get it out".

Good luck to everyone!

Agnes
