So about 4-5 months ago my councilor did a test for PTSD on me from some form he had. I answered probably 30-40 questions and that was it. He has never brought the subject again, and I've never asked him. I think I was waiting for him to let me know and now I'm getting paranoid that I do have it and he doesn't want to tell me. I know it's stupid I have not asked him, but I guess i live in fear of finding out the next thing wrong with me. I just had a session yesterday and did not ask him about it. But on the same hand why would he not talk to me about this. I just find it weird that he's never followed up with me on this. I was seeing him every week but cut back to every two weeks this month. I don't think I'm making any progress with him but I do like him, I guess. I mean what is the point, nothing seems to help I feel like I not getting better. Have to be on Xanax times two a day and never feel like I'm not really getting the help I need. I'm also confused I really don't know what is bothering me the most the shaking the tinnitus the not being able to breath half the time, my husband's crappy ass lies who knows!!? what is the point of going to a councilor when there not helping?
General Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Depression, so many more that can effect how we deal or recover.
On any given day a normal person might ring the bell on the test,on a stressful day or month. It is how you recover (or don't) from the stress as part of it.
I would copy and email this to your councilor as a subject of your next meeting. Explore what he thinks of your test, so you can understand better. Then layout an outline of treatment with progress points, you want to achieve.
Life has stress, that is normal. But how we recover is in the details.
I hope this helps.
