Ouch.

I'm no expert on PTSD but I know people who think the same thing about depression. All I can do is wish it on them. Yes, because I mean enough to do that. It (depression) is not feeling sad, it's not "not coping" with things and it takes the pleasure out of everything, even things you previously loved.

Now no-one told me to snap out of it, but I know it's a common misconception that people can. Like people who claim they have a migraine and carry on working, if you can operate perfectly normally with depression, it doesn't sound like the real thing to me.

I knida wonder whether PTSD is the same thing. I'll bow to Wolf's opinion if she drops by this thread.
