Feeling Out of Control

[Xara]

I'm not officially diagnosed with PTSD - but when i was younger i was forced to do things i didn't want to do and had this repeated at 18 - having it happen once is bad enough but twice! The thing that really tipped me over the edge was having a work college invade my personal space. Its messed with my head and my life along with my mom's accident and trauma from her loss of limb all at once, was like a smack in the face. Im constantly tired and exhausted, finding a reason to function is hard but i find a way. As should any of you when you are in as down as a situation as mine just keep fighting hopefully one day we will see the reason its all worth it in the end.

Hi Xara, welcome

Trauma is such a tough thing to move on from and I can see how these two events have shaken you. It isn't fair and I hope you recover in time.

Time is a great healer but it isn't the sole recovery tool we have. Treatment in the form of traditional psychotherapy and its close versions is most effective. The sooner you seek a GP consultation on this topic the better.

It is ok for some people to say "you'll get over it" ...well some people dont and these people are left with mental scars for a very long time. Please click on the links as they appear below

Then there is the problem of compounding a situation by not getting treatment and the burden your body has by worrying about it

The important thing is to get to these issues before they become even bigger

Now Xara, you only need to read the first post of each of those threads above. I hope you see the value of them and feel free to repost when ever you feel comfortable enough.

Regards and talk soon
