Although I am service connected for panic disorder I also always screen positive for PTSD. I have always considered Panic Disorder and PTSD as cousins or maybe brothers.

Although I have scoffed at the idea that I have PTSD the fact is maybe I do.Except for medication from Primary Doc I have not been to Mental Health Clinic at VA for many years.

One of my biggest projects is that I try to contain my anger and to some it looks like I am withdrawn and uncommunicative. I know that looks weird on Hadit but I am talking about my personal and familiar relationships.

Wings thank you for your posts regarding PTSD.
