Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
I was diagnosed with complex PTSD about four years ago. Finally, something made sense.
Treatments
Close Anxiety
I started getting anxiety attacks out of the blue about four years ago. I would start feeling the physical symptoms of absolute terror - pounding heart, clenching gut, dry mouth, etc - when there was absolutely NOTHING going on in my life that seemed to trigger such feelings. I have been diagnosed with PTSD and am being treated for that. The anxiety is less now, but still there.
Treatments
- Xanax Somewhat Helpful
- Reduces the symptoms of fear and terror that seem to come out of noplace. Helps me to sleep.
Open Anger Management
I don't know whether this is really anger or just anxiety somehow turned inside-out. I find myself unbelievably irritable a lot of the time and don't know why. I am very tempted to be an absolute WITCH to the people I love and the only thing I can do to prevent it is to be quiet, which in turn only makes the anger worse. HELP!
Open Codependency
My therapist suggested that I may be codependent and I have totally resisted it. However, after starting to read one of Melody Beattie's books, I wonder.
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI have suffered depression to some degree for most of my adult life. Most of the time I can cope with it; other times I wonder what is the point of going on.
Treatments
- Paxil Not Working
- Didn't do anything for me.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- It's good to have somebody I can level with and not be afraid they will tell somebody how rotten I feel inside.
- Trazodone Not Working
- Disastrous. Made me have what was described to me as a "serotonin reaction" - for a short time, I had no idea of who or where I was and no memory of it afterward.
