I think I may have a bit of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I am going to call my p-doc today.
It was on 60 minutes last night, how people suffer from this from, rape, being in a bad car accident, violence, war, etc I only think this because many of my symptoms are the same. FEAR, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, SLEEP ISSUES, NIGHTMARES, RE-LIVING THE EVENT. When I talk about it, I get very emotional to the point of tears and it all comes back to me like it is happening all over again. The fear of him is still with me. I have nightmares about it, then wake up suddenly. Last night I woke up approx. 1am, then 2:30am, then 4am finally got up around 6:45am. Maybe it isn't PTSD, but it was and still is very traumatic for me. My mom yelled to me - you should watch 60 min, so I turned it on and went OMG....... I shouldn't self diagnose, I really don't know enough about it. It is just so hard to get past this. Hugs, Nanc |

Nikko, I know I have PTSD. It is from a relationship in college that went horribly wrong. He treated me very badly after the relationship ended and told people that he wanted to hurt me. A very scary time.
So basically you feel all that sometimes at the same time!!! You basically are a walking zombie mess. Funny part is, that semester I was going through that hell, it was the best semester I ever had grade-wise. Go figure. Then again....looking back, it might have been the BP starting up and I didn't know it. I wish you luck in finding out if PTSD is a diag for you.

It wouldn't suprise me one bit Nikko if this is the case. I know someone who has it and she's an emotional wreck most of the time. She's in counseling and it seems to be helping some.
Wendy I'm so sorry about what happened to you....{{{hugs}}}

Please bring it up with your therapist. It is so hard to survive domestic violence let alone have to take it with you into the future.
I still fight with it. But I really prefere to burry things. The joy of a non-existant long term memory. Don't let it win. Talk now. K honey? HUGS |

I called my PCP yesterday and she wants to see me on Thursday afternoon, in the morning I have my Orthopedic Spine Surgeon, so it will be a busy day.
I called my case mgr and she said she would talk to my p-doc, but said therapy would be best. They haven't got back to me. The thing is I am going to Domestic Violence counseling and they said I am doing great, and I was, it seems it just hit me after court was all over. I would think it would of been happening all along, I guess that's why they call it Post - plus right the after assault I was dealing with a bruised brain and post concussion syndrome. Hugs, Nikko |
