PTSD & TRAUMA

Hippy

Hi

I'm 60yrs & have Struggled with PTSD & Trauma Most of My life?? Growing up I Hid behind & delt with it by Smoking Weed?? & it has sort of helped?? Nearly 2yrs ago I gave up?? Everything that I couldn't deal with in the past ALL come to surface? I've been trying to get Help & the Doctor has tried SO MANY different Meds in that 2yrs & None of them seem to work?

I'm not taking Anything atm coz All the different/wrong Meds are making Me worse & I'm STRUGGLING Really Bad now?? I have NO Energy, can't get out of bed, cry Nearly All Day & am finding it Really Hard to walk out My front Door & it's getting Harder & Harder? I get & feel Really Weird Body feelings that are Really Hard to Explain? I have Dissociation & it makes Me feel like I'm Literally Going Crazy/Insane & it's Scary? I would rather Not be here But I have 7 GrandBabys who Love Me ALOT & I have Amazing Relationships with My 3 Children & it would Break Them & I can't Hurt them? I have NO Friends, I don't want any coz in the past they Traumatised Me??

I just want to Be Normal....

There's lots more I could say...

Cheers

Maz

Dear Maz~

I'd like to give you a warm welcome here to hte Forum. There a lot here who suffer the effects of PTSD and trauma which I've also had most of my life. I too have trialed a fair number of medications and therapies.

Fortunately I now have had the correct medication and therapy for some time and it has been a life-changer. I am not allowed to say the name of the medication here in the forum however if you ask your prescriber what is now unconventional and new it may well be you will find something that suits you, as I did.

Everyone is different so what suits me might not be the same for you, but worth a try.

Having love in your family with grandkids and children is worth an awful lot.

I can well imagine what else you would like to say as I've felt the same, so I have kept this message brief.

Please feel you can come back and talk more, you will be met with understanding
