Horace Ace Carter, US Army 1977 - 1999, talks about how he knew he had PTSD.

Transcript

Some of the symptoms that I was able to identify with

that really helped me acknowledge that I have PTSD

is my wanting to always be alone, keep myself away

from people because I was tired of being hurt.

Wanting to be in a relationship and not able to

keep a relationship was the major thing,

and I mean that's even personal relationships,

relationship on my job, in the community.

I never felt secure until I was some place where I could be

by myself because I had a deep sincere trust issue.

I didn't like civilian people because, in my concept, they

didn't have a standard and appreciation of military people.
