@adamkokesh, it is amazing really just how much PTSD can affect us all. I was subjected to some workplace bullying that almost broke me and after seeking help to move past it, I was told that on the scale, I was similarly effected by this on the same level as someone that has been on active military duty. This is a fact that still does my head in, when I think about it. I guess we all find our ways to cope. I hope your friend finds some peace with it all at some point.
