me and my PTSD

Thought of creating this thread where we all can share our stories with PTSD, and maybe can share questions as well as answers and learn more about it. :)

I have been dealing with PTSD for years and have only recently accepted that I had/have it. I don't know what to do. Thank you for this thread.

I was molested by my older brother when I was younger for many years. When I finally gathered the courage to tell my parents I was in middle school. I don't know when it started because my memory is crap/I blacked a lot out. I was in therapy for a little while, but not long. I was discouraged from talking about it. I was told that people would judge me. I still have to see him at holidays and family functions.

I have flashbacks.

The first time a boyfriend kissed me I had a panic attack. Same with every "base" a boyfriend got to.

I get sick randomly when something triggers a memory or feeling.

I feel like I lose control of my body.

I disassociate.

I avoid functions and people who I like if I know there's a chance of me seeing him.

I'm on high alert at all times and the slightest move or sound with startle me.
