has just put a label on your feelings perhaps in an attempt to help you better
understand why you are feeling the way you are. Constant changes and
discoveries are occurring in the Mental Health Field. When many people
display similar patterns of emotions, and each of them seems to be resulting
from a traumatic experience, the professionals classify them in a category and this
one happens to be referred to as PTSD - Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. </span></p>

"just get over it" that would be great so it no longer effects your
emotional health. Some need the help of a therapist to "get over
it" and some are successful in doing it on their own. As with
anything difficult, it goes better if you have help.</span><br></p>
