Your post was partly in jest for sure, but it's reminding me to be grateful for what I have. No matter what I think is the worst possible situation, it could always be worse. Imprettyboringatparties

Hey. Very sorry for what you've had to go through. Can you describe what PTSD is like on a day to day basis? Your average day from when you wake up to when you go to sleep.

Wow.. I'm so sorry. I wish I could offer more than reddit platitudes of condolence.

How often did your days go well? How often did they go to shit? Did you find that certain things trigger a shitty day? Did you find that certain things trigger a good day?

What are some questions you'd like us to ask? Is there anything you'd love to talk about but can't until someone asks you the right question?

Interesting. Surely anyone who has experienced the symptoms of PTSD (whether officially diagnosed or not) would be sympathetic to the younger generation of PTSD sufferers. Have you done any research that would suggest that WWII vets might be less sympathetic and might have a "suck it up you wimp" sort of attitude toward Vietnam Vets?
