Mine is still working on persuading me. I can agree intellectually sometimes but emotionally...it is harder to not feel tremendous blame.

I'm very glad you posted then. What an important step!I've found having the opportunity to express my point of view on this thread very empowering too. I feel very ashamed about having PTSD and about having been in a psychiatric hospital. So, other than in therapy, I don't have anywhere to talk about these kinds of things. It has taken me sooooo long to find the courage to start posting here even though here I'm completely anonymous. Talking in person with people who may judge me and dismiss me because I'm mentally ill feels too threatening.
