About Me
30 year old woman, suffering from a myriad of anxiety disorders, as a result of PTSD. I have two children, and a husband who is a recovering compulsive gambler. I've led a difficult life, but I know that God wouldn't have selected this life for me if I couldn't handle it. I know that now and regret ever having attempted to take my own life.

My daughter was killed ten years ago by my abusive partner, who was not found guilty due to a technicality. After being stalked by him five years later, my anxiety issues soared and i began having lapses in memory after an anxiety attack. I have not been able to leave the house alone in almost six years.
Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
When I was 19, I was in an extremely abusive relationship. I was 7 months pregnant, and was beaten so severly that my daughter died. After being forced to leave the hospital early by my partner, I was tortured for three days. I now suffer from severe anxiety and agoraphobia in addition to other PTSD related problems.
Treatments

- I find arts and crafts and other creative activities help to keep nerves calm.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Not Working
- i had to leave teh house, and that poses a big problem for me.
- Guided Imagery Somewhat Helpful
- It helped to relieve some of the anxiety I experienced after night mares and flash backs, but was again problematic in that i had to travel outside of my saftey zone to attend.

I am a survivor of an extremely violent abusive relationship. I nearly died several times before i left. Our baby died, (born at 71/2 months, died of a punctured lung while in the womb) and I got away with the clothes on my back. It has taken several years for me to be able to talk about my experience, but I am still healing from everything that happened to me.
