^ If you could remember the site, I'd appreciate it if you post the link. And I don't mind being kicked out lol, this is, after all, a PTSD site, and I don't have PTSD.

Thanks for your encouragement. :)

^ That's true. I guess it's also worsened by my OCD. I guess therapy and CBT will be able to help fix that. Like, I know that my thinking pattern now is unproductive and pointless, but it's really hard to change it.

Just as I thought, I do not have PTSD. One of the reasons was that I did not meet criterion A. I was thinking...I don't really have a reason to stay on this forum anymore. But some of the things I have been through, while they have not been "traumatic" in the very specific medical sense, were...

Thanks for the reassurance, guys. But unfortunately, I still think "what if I didn't play the guitar so loudly, and what if I didn't cause my dog so much auditory pain?" It's going to take a while to get out of this spot. I think about that question constantly now, at least today I did. And...

Thanks, guys, for the thoughts/comments! I'm a bit too lazy to answer to all of them individually, but I did take the time to read them all. And Hashi, I really don't think OCD can be linked to Criterion A. I didn't even know there was a criterion A. What I got out of this thread is that I...

Wow, I never knew there was a "criterion A". I guess that means you're right, Solara. Diagnosis means more than just checking things off a list. However, my friends do say that I've gotten a lot angrier compared to last year. In fact, one of my friends had a HUGE fight with me, in which he...

Last year, I had my first major OCD episode. It lasted for about a week or two. It was the most terrifying thing I've ever experienced in my life. I've been displaying PTSD symtoms for a while after that. Is it perfectly possible for someone to get PTSD after a particularly bad mental illness...
