Hopefully this doesn't come off as insensitive, but I'm very curious -- obviously, no obligations to answer if it's too uncomfortable to answer.

What sorts of PTSD experiences do you derive from your experience? I've only heard elaborations of the condition given for people who have suffered shellshock, rape, or domestic violence. Never something like this. Do you have certain triggers related to it, or do you just fear surgery? Or do you have nightmares?

Thanks for the fascinating IAMA, by the way. This is the sort of thing I really subscribe to this subreddit for, I don't really care much for celebrity interviews :p

Please insert disk 1 to read this retort.

To re-read original question, re-insert disk 4.

That makes a lot of sense, thanks! I wouldn't have been able to draw those examples from my own understandings, but I think I more or less understand the correlation.

Could you provide and insight into how PTSD in this circumstance can trigger depresion? I've suffered from a fair deal of depression due to various ongoing problems in my life, but as far as your case goes, can't you say something along the lines of, "well, that terrible experience is done and over forever"? Or is this a short-sighted understanding of your situation?
