Well, many may not understand the reason for this, as people see Vietnam Veteran, and they immediately believe it isn't related to them unless they are military. How wrong you are... let me just say that now.

For some that have read here for a while, or read where I mentioned being given a small book to take home and read, thus handing it back to my initial counsellor and telling her someone wrote a book on me, I found the book in an approved online version, and I would like to share it with you. I know I will certainly be posting parts of it now, highlighting points here, as this is so well written, and generalized from military to just PTSD, it really isn't funny (Australian saying). A Vietnam Veterans Experience!

My recommendation is that every person with PTSD read this, as it illustrates so many aspects of PTSD for what it is, and I have no doubt at all, that every person who does read this, will get something from it. Something with a symptom will click, and possibly turn on the light within your head to begin making something better for you.

It is short, brief, and too the point. I think it spans about 10 - 15 pages in total. Print it out, take it with you, go sit in the park, do whatever, but please read it. Some parts are not relevant to you if your not military, but my god, the general PTSD aspects that [SIZE=2]Wayne J Scott (author) highlights, you may just get something more than you expected from it to help one or more of your symptom, ie. it puts things into place, explains the basic core root of some symptoms, and why we do things.
