Hi all
I've recently been diagnosed with PTSD following a near death experience in November during a prolonged inpatient stay in hospital for a long term health condition. I've been having flashbacks, nightmares and panic attacks and I now have a fear of going into the hospital.
I've never had anything like this before and I'm generally a positive person, however I have family experience of mental health conditions, my whole family have experienced depression, my sister has BPD and my other half has bipolar with two previous attempts to take his life,but very well at the moment.
Now I need the support and I'm finding it hard to accept what has happened to me and I'm sick of feeling down. I've been referred for counselling.
Just wanted to have somewhere to let off steam without affecting family members health.
Thanks for reading
