Gday! I was involved in a horrific incident about 9 years ago. I initially had counselling and was diagnosed with a high level of PTSD. I have a lot of support around me but have been hiding its effects for the last few years. I'm just now realising how this was not a good idea. I have a beautiful family/Job/House etc. Unfortunately I do not know anyone who suffers from ptsd. This makes it hard (if not impossible) to get any real/helpful advice. I am desperate for someone outside of my circle to talk to. Can't afford counselling so I'm really struggling lately due to a couple of triggers. Any doc I see just tries to prescribe meds. If I have any hope at coping with this for the rest of my life I need an understanding ear not a pill. If you are reading this and know what I am talking about, please respond. I am just about to chuck in the towel. Please, please help.
