Am I feeling Post-Traumatic Anxiety?????

[ALil]

After having a relationship for over 4 years, it was very traumatic. I went from feeling a happy all the time person to someone who is so negative about everything. Being unable to connect with family and friends, constantly overthinking my past and being upset all the time. Stressing over a lot of things. Feeling isolated sometimes from friend discussions. Feel as though I can’t connet with anyone. I could sit on my own and instantly feel sad. I let things get to me a lot. I have done a lot of research on here, I haven’t seen a doctor yet but I’m needing some advice first.

Hi Alil

Welcome here : ) Post any time you need support, advice or if you're in need of someone to talk to.

I was diagnosed with PTSD 2 years ago and the best advice I can give you is to see your GP, they will be able to point you in the right direction towards getting help and also diagnose whether it is PTSD or if there's something else going on.

PTSD as with depression,anxiety and others that affect metal health, are best managed with guidance and professional advice as well as support from family or friends.

Have you told anyone that you're feeling this way?

Start with your GP first, they will give you the advice you need

I wish you all the best
