Bad Relationship

Alexandrius1997

So I use to be close with someone who was very manipulative to the point where everytime they would get angry I would accept that it was my fault when it wasnt. It got to the point where not being around them would get me yelled and snapped at and accused of being a bad person. I was around them so much and through some very bad situations that being away from them became detrimental to me. They would sometimes attack me for no reason. Now just even the thought or mention of their name triggers me. I guess im wondering, do I have PTSD from the relationship that I had with them?

Hi. I echo arfie. Have you considered setting up one of those free consults with a therapist? I know a lot of them do acquaintance phone calls also. Maybe a health care professional could help you find the answer to the question you are pondering. Triple hugs and we are here to listen if you need to have voice.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
