A User's Guide to PTSD

[pegkerr]

If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend rachelmanija's three part essay on her own experiences with post-traumatic stress disorder. Fascinating and insightful:

Part I: What I Did In The War. (Introduction; background; what happens during trauma; what happened to me.)

Part II: What Does A Flashback Feel Like? (My history with PTSD, what it felt like to me, and dealing with other people who have it.)

Part III: I Don't Have To Do That Any More (On recovery; lingering effects; book, film, and TV recommendations.)

Thanks to rachelmanija.
