I was raped a year ago by my boyfriend, ik that sounds nuts, but its true. Ever since, I haven't let a guy near me like that, I have terrible nightmares, and I panic when I get any attention from guys at all.

I dont know if thats PTSD or not, I've never been diagnosed.

I hope things go better for you

FINALLY!!!! Yes, I do! I'm being treated with anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds.... adjustments needed at the time. I am willing to listen, I DO understand what you're going through, and will share stories and work on bettering both of us if you're up for it.

Love Jade

I suffer from PTSD myself and I know it is difficult if you don't have anyone who understands to talk with you. I'm always a PM away or I have AIM and MSN. Hang in there, it's a long battle - but we can do it.

are there things you'd like to start talking about or sharing with us? OR how this all began for you? I know it's hard, b/c I"m dealing with it now, but you started this thread and I'd like to see you use it and get some good stuff out of us. We're here to help in any way we can.

God Bless,

Jade

Is anyone willing to share what occured to bring this on? I'm more than willing, but I don't want to start triggers, unless I'm asked to share.

One of my very best friends suffers from PTSD related to long-term physical (and emotional) abuse when she was a child.

I ws reading about PTSD on the net and it said some bullcrap about how it usually starts within 3 months of "the" incident" and lasts about 6 months... I have to disagree with WebMD on that one... I was in a terrible relationship for 8 years, filled with infidelity, verbal abuse, alcoholism, and then we married after 3 years into it and got pregnant right away. After our 1st child his "flaws" got worse and he was an absent father most of the time. He would tell me horrrible things after a year or two about how no other man would want me due to weight gain/stretch marks from the baby, and that no one divorces him, they die 1st. Then came baby #2, just when I felt good enough to leave... It wasn't long after that he was so absent we basically separated anyways, but when he was arrested and put away, and I filed for divorce he came back home and tried to kill me w/ a shotgun. My eldest, who was 4 at the time, came out and saved my life. The 2nd time he tried to kill me I was in a relationship, divorce was final, and he broke into my home whie I was sleeping and tried to slit my throat and called my b/f to listen to me scream. My kids weren't there, but the cops didn't come--they called me instead to make sure I was fine....long story short, I lived.

Anyways, between restraining orders and whatnot, years have passed and just last fall the world came crashing down with heavy depression and anxiety. They called it PTSD "more than likely" due to not dealing with traumatic events. I had a horrid childhood as well, but I knew this was brought on by the ex--as we still communicate.

I just wanted to share a tip of the iceberg to see if anyone else would and what your Docs have said about PTSD to you... mine hasn't said much, just diagnosed with major depressive disorder and General Anxiety Disorder and then said it is probably PTSD... I'm not seeing a therapist yet, my 1st one left and I need a new one.

Anyways, Love you all...God Bless your survival.

I've been suffering from PTSD symptoms for the past year and a half. It was brought on by traumatic events I experienced in a psychiatrist hospital over a period of 9 months. I get bad dreams most nights and flashbacks most days. I've only just started talking to my therapist about it and havent actually mentioned it being PTSD yet. I'm going to talk to my CPN about it on Friday and see what she says, perhaps then I'll talk to my psychiatrist about it.

I'm not sure at the moment what would help, talking about it seems to make it worse and I'm already heavily medicated for depression and some other mental health stuff.

I'd love to hear about some more peoples experiences, if you want to post here or PM me?

I'd also love to hear about how people are being treated for this? as I'm yet to find out what can be done for me.

ive got ptsd from being sa'd. by my father. i dont want to trigger anyone, so that's all i'll say about that.

webmd is stupid if they say it goes away in 6 months. ive been in and out of therapy. and stuck with it for hte last 2 1/2 yrs. ive had other issues to deal with, a divorce and abuse from that, bpd, bipolar and such. but the ptsd is by far the toughest.

it is so hard to talk about. so so hard. and other times are worse than others. certain things trigger memories and really f up your day, week, month, however long it takes to get back on track. but having a pdoc i trust is the only thing thats gotten me through it. i coudl go on and on. the nightmares, the flashbacks, the dissociation. blaming myself, hating myself. self destructing. su attempts. its a nightmare. im so not right. and dont know how i ever will be.
