PTSD/CPTSD non military (lemmy.world)

Something I have stuck in my head and frustrates me, was from years ago news media talking about PTSD in regards to civilians. The conversation felt very dismissive as if it was not possible to suffer from PTSD unless they fought in a war.

recently I was diagnosed with CPTSD due to a horrific home life growing up. Anyway all this has compounded to were I feel like an outsider.

I know cptsd is somewhat common and I'm wondering if anyone remembers this narrative in the news, and if anyone with PTSD/CPTSD has felt similarly?

It's extremely common for people to dismiss stuff they don't get. The only way to "get" any goddamn thing is to have experienced or seen it very close up, apparently, for a lot of people.
