You may or may not be convinced, but your *opinion* that those who serve in the military and end up with PTSD are somehow not "real men" is just grotesque to me. Sickening. You are blaming the victim.

And lemme guess... you, trying to compare your "anxiety" with PTSD, isn't sickening? You are what he said, one of the people that has blurred the lines for people like him. He's young, he probably hasn't met many people who suffer from PTSD. He can be forgiven for that. What you did here was *far* worse.

Slimer
Except that the people in the military who have PTSD have it because they saw their friends die in front of them or saw those people lose their limbs even if they survived.

Snit
You are the one who said people who succumb to anxiety are not real men. And, yes, that includes some of those you listed - those who see their friends die in front of them and who lose limbs and the like. It is why your claim is beyond offensive and deeply ignorant. Here, the exact quote: Slimer: ----- I'm not saying that he should "get over it," I'm saying that real men wouldn't even be affected by things such as anxiety. ----- Those are your EXACT words. And your words are gross.

Slimer
They've seen shocking things and therefore truly ARE affected by something. Snit has experienced _nothing_.

Snit
You said this about "real men"... and implied I am not one. You were not speaking of me but of all men who suffer from anxiety. And below you show your insecurity by making up stories about others. Not interested.

Slimer
The worst thing he ever saw was his father pounding his mother's ass as he walked into her room to troll her about something.

PTSD and anxiety are two different things.

Snit
PTSD is a form of anxiety disorder.

You sure about that? Last I heard it had been reclassified (as I mentioned earlier) by the powers that be ... and a quick search pulls up:

"Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) will be included in a new chapter in DSM-5 on Trauma- and Stress- or-Related Disorders. This move from DSM-IV, which addressed PTSD as an anxiety disorder, is among several changes approved for this condi on that is increasingly at the center of public as well as profes- sional discussion."

http://www.dsm5.org/Documents/PTSD%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf

Looks to me like it's no longer "addressed" as an anxiety disorder by the American Psychiatric Association. You've heard of them, right?

I liked this part, too:

"It is not the physi- ological result of another medical condi on, medica on, drugs or alcohol."

Do you even understand why they are drawing this distinction, Snit? LOL!

Let's see what the U.S Department of Veterans Affairs has to say about it:

"PTSD is no longer categorized as an Anxiety Disorder. PTSD is now classified in a new category, Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorders, in which the onset of every disorder has been preceded by exposure to a traumatic or otherwise adverse environmental event."

http://www.ptsd.va.gov/professional/PTSD-overview/ptsd-overview.asp

Gee, and they also recognize the new classification mentioned above. Go figure.

It is not something outside of anxiety disorders. Once again you show your ignorance.

Regardless of classification, trying to group your "anxiety" in with victims of PTSD showed your ignorance, in believing people are as stupid as you need them to be.

Slimer
For Tyrone Snitson Prescott Coloured Guy to claim otherwise is repulsive and a perfect exhibition of what kind of a liar he is.

Snit
I am noting the FACT that PTSD is a form of anxiety disorder. You call it a lie based on your ignorance. Here, to help you get educated: <http://www.adaa.org/understanding-anxiety/posttraumatic-stress-disorder-pts d/symptoms>OR <http://goo.gl/WMuHok>. In the newest DSM they have split this type of anxiety disorder into the separate category of Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorders.

Who are "they" whose word should be taken over the American Psychiatric Association and the U.S Department of Veterans Affairs?

Frankly, Slimer, you clearly have NO clue what you are talking about here
