Went to therapist

[Throwmyselfaway]

So per the promise to my wife I went to the therapist. I'm not only do I have depression and anxiety. I now have ptsd. I'm like the hell how? Like I wasn't in the military or anything like that. Well when I was a kid my dad beat my mom a lot. I watched it. I saw and heard their screaming all the time. To this day doors slamming I jump out of my skin. I'm like well shit. Like let's just add something else I can't handle .

I'm so sorry to hear about this. I'm not diagnosed with anything at the moment (however knowing myself I probably have something). But I can understand having something painful and something even more painful just adds up in your life. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk about it

PTSD is also from domestic abuse , watching abusive acts , or being attacked one time (say on the street).

I'm sorry you suffer from it, it's horrible and haunting (as you describe). I have similar issues, though different trauma, I jump when anything is slammed.. I literally jump out of bed and break things. That part about hearing screams and beatings... Awful.

You're adding another label to your bag, but it's not new, it had already existed in you... It's another burden and pain to recognize. I was always alarmed and angry when told I have something new. Really frustrated. After few good months it was easier -- I knew what I have.

Recommend you check out the work of Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk or Pete Walker. Lot of stuff about dealing with PTSD from childhood abuse. Your experiences definitely count.

I have the same thing you have about doors slamming or people knocking. Fucking annoying.

I'm sorry to hear about that and yes, I agree with @Quarky00 here, it's not new, it's something that you always had. Anyways, I hope you are able to find peace in whatever you choose to do.

MDMA is being licensed for PTSD so that is a glimmer of hope.

I am so sorry for everything you have gone through, no wonder you are feeling low. I hope you get good support and it helps you. PTSD is a natural response to trauma.
