angry at those who caused PTSD

[peacefulandcalm]

Sometimes rage at these people. Cannot write, too tired.

Many of us have felt that way, you're not alone.

It's a feeling that reaches into many areas of coping and and also often it gets in the way of recovery. As one survivor also expressed it to me, "I didn't cause this PTSD; I shouldn't have to be the one to fix it."

We each have to come to terms with our anger at those who caused the experience that created the resulting PTSD. You're among friends here; feel free to vent.

Wouldnt I be wonderful to put a stop to that kind of treatment?

I certainly wish I had the ability...

Can we live without the personalities who have no feeling and empathy? The ones who keep putting people like us in these situations? Someone once said to me, that we need those personalities in our societiy otherwise it will fail. I believe it is the opposite...society will fail because we allow those people to keep doing those things! It's the reason there is hunger, war, strife... All those things that put us in this situation!

The Eskimo had a name for them...people who know what to do, to do whats right, but won't do it!... People who eat but don't hunt, sit around the camp while the hunters are out, talk about others, expect others to gather wood, sleep with all the women, eating all the food. The choice cuts

Something I have found helpful is to stop the reminders...the triggers. I don't let them do that anymore. I stop thinking about them, and the pain slows down and stops. The anger only comes up occationally!

I'm so glad that you have unfrozen enough to feel the rage. I'm not there yet but your post gives me hope that it's possible.
