I can't even begin to imagine what living with PTSD is like for someone. An excellent support system is necessary in order for anyone with the disorder to make the attempt to function with the rest of society.
An old co-worker of mine had PTSD to the point where a task such as going to the bathroom was difficult for him. Something that anyone hardly puts any mind to was one of the most difficult things for him to do. You see, he had the urge to go much like everyone else, but the carrying out the task took much longer than it would take most of us. I don't have much history on him...I know he was in Iraq and I know that when he had to use the restroom while stationed over there, there was always someone looking over his shoulder--no privacy, just intimidation. Only he knows what happened while he was there and I truly hope he got he help he rightfully deserved.
