Page 190 - Total War on PTSD

I felt this way quite often, and still do sometimes. Trusting others is difficult for those with PTSD. It is a loss of control. This is why it was so difficult for me to deal with being inpatient while I was still on Active Duty and pending medical retirement. Not only was my military career in ruins, but the trust that I thought I had built up in ‘my’ military was gone. I found that I couldn’t trust anyone around me...or felt I couldn’t.
This I felt was especially true after discovering that I coded after ECT treatment and wasn’t told about it until an entire year later...after I retired. How that was ‘proper medical treatment’; I haven’t the slightest idea...but I think that was a major violation of my personal trust.
I have also developed an aversion to female doctors because of her treatment and the treatment of several other female physicians I have encountered.
