What I now understand to be PTSD as impacted every aspect of my life. Originally I had great difficulty understanding PTSD. Every description of PTSD symptoms seemed "normal" to me. The PTSD symptom described as "reduced life expectation" seemed odd to me.
For example I was surprised, lost (and possibly disappointed) when I lived past 40. I wasn't expecting that nor had I planned for it. After all that had been my assumption about life as long as I remember.
Since I'm normal (isn't everyone) that must be normal as well. Right? Apparently not.
