everyone deals with trauma differently. but one thing that is the same, ptsd starts out as thinking everyone is trying to do something wrong to u on purpose. carefully read what u wrote. as far as your "friend" she may have a harder time especially if she has had alot of past trauma, ie deaths, divorce, love hurts, betrayal. i think u r different because u probably have always tried to run from anything that bothered u. i'm not being negative i am trying to be honest. i too have ptsd but i was robbed, raped 12 times over 3 days, shot at and taken all over town. all i can say is she probably had alot more happen in her past than u have. a rougher life so to speak. please reply to let me know if i am right. i have done alot of personal research since call rape couldnt help my incident was to complex and any state dr's are not specialist therefore i'm on my own in trying to heal myself. be patient she'll either go off the deep end and run from u thinking u wereinvolved or she will want to try to get away from it all trying to forget. onelkywmn@yahoo.com is my email if i can help with anything
