Congrats! Great post! It took me some time to recover from PASSING, and had to type out a very lengthy post about my experience, trying to GET it outta my system. I never thought of it as PTSD, but, I think you were right on track. Good luck with your new future!

*hugs* I am glad your PTSD is fading ... people who have never prepped for or done the CPNE will never quite understand! My own PTSD was a bit shorter in duration, but yeah ... I feel you on that. Great journal. Congrats!!
