For me, PTSD is holding myself to ridiculously high standards on the theory that they would have protected me, and then being silently furious at everyone else for flippantly ignoring the danger they're putting themselves in (i.e. not having the same high standards).


Sort of like OCD, but the Obsession actually happened to me, it genuinely isn't rare/unreasonable to worry about, and the Compulsion is an activity that can at least be said to be a net positive for the human condition (even if it's not a rational response to the Obsession).
