Hi everyone! It's so odd to me that only a year ago I was doing relatively well. I was in a program at school that I enjoyed, was making new friends all the time, had a job that helped sustain my life, and lived on my own happily and successfully. Throughout 2016, I experienced three retrauma...

I've sort of asked my psychologist about this, but he was a little vague (though generally answered in the affirmative). I had relatively bad anxiety and panic disorder before I experienced my initial trauma and was subsequently diagnosed with PTSD. After the PTSD hit in full, my anxiety...
