gotcha. I think I need my T to explain in detail the disorder to me. Reading about it is one thing, but hearing about it from a trained professional is another.

Ok I saw one like a year ago and he diagnosed me with like 4 different disorders after seeing me for 20 minutes in his office. A few months ago I started seeing my T (psychologist). She had me see the medical director (psychiatrist) in the practice for testing. He diagnosed me with PTSD. Now she...

I will explain more things to my T next week and then will have her explain the diagnosis to me further. I will get a print out of the psychiatrists report. I totally forgot to do that last time I was there. It was more detailed and might be more beneficial to me.

I haven't got the chance to tell her yet. I see her next week. I know the office is strictly 8-5. I could ask if she would be willing to. If I do end up getting put on medication, I would also have to see if the psychiatrist would be willing to stay late too

pie-yes it was the test like you described. Kas_Can_Fly and Lucycat-I see a psychologist in the same practice as the psychiatrist who administered the test. She wanted me to get testing to rule out a bunch of other diagnosis that a totally different psychiatrist gave me after seeing me for 20...

nursenurse is right. I am 23 and I have never been in a relationship. I look at it as, if its meant to happen, it will.

I plan on telling my T about this when I see her next week. I have written all of this down. I don't feel I can actually tell her about it so I will just let her read it.

I don't think its right she tried to get with you while she had a boyfriend. You deserve someone better than that. Who is to say if you did get with her she would not do the same to you? Not cool. Move on and find someone else. I know finding someone when you have PTSD is hard but you will!

I do. I have been seeing my T for about 3 months now and was recently diagnosed with PTSD. I live with my divorced parents and older brother. None of them know about my PTSD or therapy.

I have posted before about my molestation dreams but there is something I need to ask. Whenever I have these dreams I usually wake up right when someone begins to touch me. When I wake up I have a feeling in my genital area as if someone was touching me. Not sure what to think. For those who...

I just got a new job and will be starting in June. I am newly diagnosed with PTSD and a social anxiety disorder of some sort. I will be seeing my T next week and the psychiatrist the following week. I have not seen this psychiatrist before and am only seeing him because my T wants me to do a...

I know this may sound stupid but can someone explain to me what a flashback is? This is the one thing that is not making sense to me in regards to my diagnosis. I have had nightmares and in certain situations my heart pounds, my face gets flushed, I sweat and I get shaky but I do not have a...

I was diagnosed with PTSD about a month ago after 2 hours worth of testing. The testing involved an IQ test and questionnaires. A psychiatrist performed the testing. I was wondering how he could of come up with a diagnosis based off of my answers on a 200+ questionnaire?

So I was recently diagnosed and my T thinks it is due to early exposure to domestic violence. When I was 11, my brother and Mom got into a fight. He pushed her and busted her head open. She had to get staples. There has always been issues. He is bipolar and flips out. I live in fear of him...

As a Catholic I believe with my whole heart God is right there with us. Through the good and the bad. I believe His only Son suffered and died for us. In doing so, He not only took on the sins of the world but also took on all the joys, sadness, pain, etc. that go along with sin. Only one word...

My Dad said he decided to tell me because my parents were going through a divorce and he didn't want it to come out from anyone other than him. In other words, he didn't want my Mom to tell me out of anger at him over the divorce.

Junebug, I'm here if you need to talk. :) I also know how you feel. I graduated college in December 2011 and cannot find a decent full-time job. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for the job I have now but the stress it comes with combined with the 1:00PM-7:00PM shifts and the pay...so not worth...

I too am quiet and only talk to people I have gotten known and trust. For example in August, I started volunteering at my church and knew only two or three people there. Now I know about 2 dozen and Im fine around them because I have gotten to know them and I feel I can trust them. On the other...

I also experienced domestic violence as a child. I mentioned this to my T and she said this is the cause of my PTSD. I haven't mentioned the inappropriate touching to her though...should I mention this? I want to work through this because I don't think its healthy that I cannot receive attention...

I am also very socially isolated. I am very active in my church and feel I can be myself around the people there. They know nothing about my PTSD but some of them know about the dysfunction in my family. I feel safe and comfortable around them. Now, put me in a crowded mall or grocery store...

I mean I knew what sex was and my Mom always told me not to let anyone touch me in certain places. She always told me "only married people do that".

Hi All, As far back as I can remember, I often had nightmares about being molested. When I was 18 my Dad admitted to me that he molested my cousin long before I was born. He swears he never did it to me. After he informed me of this, Ive only had a handful of these nightmares. Part of me...

Does this mean I was previously inappropriately touched as a young child and may not remember it?

Hi All, I was diagnosed with PTSD this past Monday after some testing. My therapist asked me what traumatic thing happened in my childhood that could have caused my PTSD. I told her that witnessing domestic violence between my Mom and brother HOWEVER I think there is something else..... I...
