Hello:-) Healing hopes!

For me? An emotionally traumatic relationship = trauma = PTSD. Trauma is trauma, as we like to say on this board. What else was my life? It took my therapist a year to convince me that 17 years of my dad and sister counted as trauma... B/c it wasn't always physical. It doesn't need to be. Control is the endgame of many abusers.

Again, welcome! Healing puma purrs.

Welcome, yoss, sorry for the trauma that brought you here, but glad you found us. When I first came here to DS PTSD, a member offered me a link to therapist Pete Walker's website on PTSD, a source of tons of free, reliable PTSD info. I'm passing it on to you now.

Fire that therapy’s

What the hell telling a client take an online test

That is his/her job

Sounds like you have symptoms related to trauma

I have diagnosed or told many in person or on my blog they have ptsd it is so under diagnosed

One gal said she had gad
General anxiety disorder

Diagnosed by her therapist

I told her she has complex ptsd

Then I told her to look at the name of her blog

Daughters of bi polar mother’s
They whined about their mother’s abuse everyday

She took her blig down the next day

I told her she was dissociating into her mother’s abuse everyday getting worse

thanks for your advice! my therapist is technically a counselor i think so i’m not sure if she is actually allowed to diagnose me with anything. she really just helps give me tools to figure my life out so that’s why i took the test. i’ve been doing a lot of my own research!

Welcome to the board yoss.... I am so sorry that you went through so much trauma

This is a good place to come and the board has wonderful members..... Big hug.....xo

Seeing a psychiatrist could help you with a diagnosis and if you need any medication can prescribe it..... xo

You do not hate yourself which is very good. You need to love yourself, nothing is more important then this. Nothing. If we love ourselves we will be encouraged to put everything into place.
