heya everyone, I went to the psychologist the other day and as usual i was telling him about how my now ex abused me mentally and emotionally. Ive had these black spots of remembering things that he did to me up until now and this particular day was it at the psychologist office, its like someone had finally switched on the light and i could see and remember stuff of my past as if it were yesterday. I had unconsciously blocked out various situations of how my ex abused me and i found myself bawling my eyes out and feeling like i could hardly breath, it was horrible, felt like i was drowning within. My psychologist has diagnosed me with PTSD and i am still in shock with the diagnosis, i didnt think that i would ever have that but apparently i do. Should i go and get another / 2nd opinion i wonder? or would i just be waisting my time. can anyone help me with that answer. thankyou. He can help me with 9 sessions of going thru the journey of PTSD. it will mean shedding all and more tears, and it will take all of my courage to face the mountains that are currently in front of me. Has anyone else had experience with suffering from PTSD, and im really annoyed and HATE my ex right about now too, hes an asshole and im so glad that im not sharing my life with that selfish person anymore. Do i face the mountains or do i just let them exist for a little bit more as days go by, by not doing anything. IM SO CONFUSED. .......................help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. thankyou from ollie. xx
If you dont, you will never truly be able to cope or have a regular relationship again.
Now that the door has been opened you are in for a some really rough times. You will need a strong support team. Surround yourself with people you trust and care for you.
Recovering if you can will be exhausting, you must trust your doctor.
Read about all the stages of grief, read about them as much as you can as many different opinions as possible.
You will need a support team to talk to and help you get it all out.
You will grow from all of this and you can be even happier.
You had a major breakthrough with this therapist. Sometimes remembering things is the only way to heal and move on..its like your brian block the memory of what happened but not the fear, anger and anxiety. Which is so damaging to your mental health mainly because before you remember you cannot pinpoint what is causing this rage/fear inside. Now you know now you can start the healing process. I'm no doctor or expert but I don't really see why you would want another opinion when this one seems spot on.
