Thanks Diane -- There is no doubt in my mind that PTSD existed as long as man has had a cnencisoce. Call it "soldiers heart" or "battle fatigue"...it does not make it any easier to deal with alone.Diane also emailed me privately to tell me that I put two R's in repression in the title of my post. I Have no idea how to correct it so I will apologize. Do you want to guess how many times I proofed that entry? Many -- I am the world's worst editor.
