The first I'd really heard it and that I decided
that it might apply to me, that is the diagnosis of PTSD,
was an unintended casual event where I was invited
to join my wife and a colleague of hers for dinner.
It turns out he also was a psychologist, as my wife is.
And when we entered the restaurant for dinner,
I did the thing I always do, have done, still do,
which was I picked the table and the chair
that I could comfortably sit in and eat dinner with friends
with my back to the wall in the corner with a full view
of all windows and doors.
Somewhere about 10 minutes or so into conversation,
this friend of my wife,
a psychologist said, "And you have PTSD?"
And that was it.
That was the first time.
