Suffering_in_silence
New Here
I’m in my mid twenties and have recently come to terms with the fact that I most likely have PTSD. I’m pretty happy overall with an amazing husband and 3 wonderful kids living a middle class life. Over the past 4 years though, my anxiety/panic has increased and with that, my drinking.
I was sexually, physically and mentally abused as a child. I’ve cut off contact with my mother at a younger age and more recently with the main abuser, my father. My younger sister was also abused heavily but has not come to terms with it and still maintains contact.
I'm angry because other than this haunting me, I have a perfect life which I should be enjoying! Instead I live in fear and panic and drink to cope.
I’m very wary of doctors and medicine in general and refuse to visit a doctor until I’ve exhausted all options of treating myself at home. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations for me?
I’m on off label use of Baclofen to help with the drinking and I am hoping to find support and understanding from others to help me grow as a person and overcome the monster that has taken over my otherwise perfect life. I’m so sorry to anyone who has ever needed to come across this board.
