If something happens to someone you love, you'll want to know the signs. PTSD isn't just for vets.

Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV

PTSD?
Patricia L. Oswalt: After my divorce, I ended up going to see a psychologist for a while, because I would have bursts of anger or fear over pretty small things. He said that I was suffering a mild form of PTSD, certainly nothing like vets have to deal with. I didn't really need medication, but he taught me a new way to think, to remind myself that all the things that I had suffered in the past were not still happening today. That I no longer had to worry about verbal, physical or emotional abuse; that I know longer had to worry about protecting my son from the same abuse. It was life changing.
