Hello,
I 53 years old, and I have just been diagnosed with PTSD. I have suffered various traumas as a child and into my teen years, which my doctor says contributed to my condition. I was witness to domestic violence on a daily basis as a child because my parents argued daily. I suffered when I went to school because I was afraid of everyone, and wanted to be left alone. I was viciously bullied everyday in school because I did not want to participate in activities or hang out with others. Presently I have flashbacks, and in certain situations I am reminded of things that cause me to go into panic mode. It does not matter where I am or what I am doing I have to run and hide when I panic. I have had many jobs, and many relationships, but none have lasted very long because everyone thinks I'm crazy. I'm not able to see a doctor on a regular basis because of insurance issues, so I try to manage as best that I can everyday.
