Is this PTSD or is it something else?
No I don’t wanna go around telling people I have PTSD when I don’t. I’ve been talking to a counsellor for awhile now and I’m doing EMDR therapy. This therapy is for PTSD however she has not said I have it or anything of this sort . An event happened around about three years ago and I lose sleep over it when I think about it I feel sick. I am constantly dwelling on it. It makes me not do things that I love to do it makes me want to like harm myself. I have panic attacks because of it And I’ve told a couple people what it is and they say that it’s tiny and it doesn’t even matter, but it’s such a big thing to me and I think I’ll be viewed as worthless and not good enough if anyone finds out what it is so please I’m not asking for a self diagnosis. I just want someone to say whether they share the same symptoms and have been diagnosed or something like that.
@Mayrosie hi sweetie ❤ yeah I have ptsd and very similar symptoms to what you described, have you asked your therapist directly, wether you have been diagnosed with it. Because sometimes unless you ask directly they will not tell you, so maybe that would help clear it up in your mind ❤ also ptsd isn't just for one thing, there are soooo many reasons that cause people to suffer with it. So those two people you told have no right to say what happened to you is any less than what happened to anyone else ok? Your feelings do matter, and just because of different circumstances does not mean you you hurting any differently from anyone else ❤ gives you a giant tiny hug ❤❤ I'm right here if you need anything ❤
Thankyou 💜
