    Undiagnosed Well Hello - Don't Want Symptoms To Sabotage A Relationship

    Thank you all for your responses! I'm going to take them to heart and mull them over. @Solara - That is a very good and appropriate question, I think. I've never had a relationship last with any kind of quality for more than three months, and we are at three months next week, me and this...

    Undiagnosed Well Hello - Don't Want Symptoms To Sabotage A Relationship

    I just found this website today! I've never received a dx of PTSD, but I'm an adult survivor of parental incest and deal with a lot of the repercussions of that, both emotionally and physically. I've been working with a trauma specialist / psychoanalyst for three and a half years and am lightly...
