Using PTSD as an excuse?...It is something we are seeing it said a lot, and honestly it makes me cringe when I do. First of all, it is a personal assumption which we all know assumptions are not usually a good thing. Second, we arent looking for the why or how to work around things any longer, we are looking for something to blame or point the finger at. If someone says I cant do large crowds because of my PTSD that isnt blaming PTSD that is a factual statement. If they stay up all night and sleep during the day and they say I dont sleep at night because of my nightmares, that is still a factual statement not a excuse. We need to try and stop pointing the finger and judging each other and help understand the reasons behind an action so coping skills can be found. And coping skills may include adjusting things, it doesnt always mean learning to be able to do things head on. ...Shawn
