So,
Someone was telling me that they had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. From an event that happened years ago. And an event that they did not witness in person.
I will not say the exact event, to hide my identity and theirs as well (as you never know exactly who might be an INGO member) so i will try to respect them...
But it basically would be claiming that you have PTS over the state fair tragedy that happened last year. And just happened to be in the same state, or even the same city that this unfortunate event happened, but not be at the state fair when it happened, not even knowing anyone who was injured or died. But just watched it on tv, and read about it in the paper..
Is this truly possible?
Am I wrong to be concerned that this person in my eyes is a basket case.
I am not saying that post traumatic stress isn't real.. I believe it is real, but I kinda think that you have to actually witness, be apart of the event to suffer from it..
Thoughts??? Go...
