What medications might be good for flashbacks and nightmares? Hopefully not antipsychotics. I dread the thought of taking daily meds. Would a Service Dog help with any of the symptoms? Or is it not applicable in my case?

I think my doctor wants to try medications on me. I'm really am terrified of that. Is a service dog is even applicable to my situation? I don't have any pets of my own, but I can't even go out of my home without getting triggered by police or even an ambulance that might pass by me.

My Psych wants to do therapy and not sure what else. I hope I will get some sort of help to end these flashbacks that keep reoccurring. I feel like I'm a shell of a person that I once was.

I've never took any drugs before nor even thought about this happening and wanted to join the military before my traumatic experience happened. The traumatic experience has never stopped in my mind. It's still very much with me. My best "friend" betrayed me with drugging me and left me alone...

No, it was real trauma. 4 days of totally losing the person that I once was. It resulted in a 72 Psych hold. I was messed up from unknowingly being drugged. I was a teenager that didn't want to even do drugs...A "friend" did this to me. I can't trust people now. I get triggered by a lot of...

Today I finally told my Psychologist about my traumatic experience 10 years ago and that it still is effecting me to this day. My Psych said it's not PTSD, but only a PTSD reaction. What is a PTSD reaction? Is my Psych downplaying my traumatic experience that still effects me? I keep having...

It took me 10 years to figure myself out. I realized it yesterday. I thought it was only Generalized Anxiety Disorder. But the flashbacks, panic, and reliving it is just too much. My traumatic incident changed me totally. I used to be proud of myself before.

I feel that hopelessness all the time. I had a career path outlined that I was passionate about. It was more like a lifestyle. After my traumatic incident, I turned into a person that struggles to even go out of the house. I don't have any education done nor have a job. I just stay at home...

I don't have friends. Strangers freak me outside when I have to go out of the house. I don't want them to know me.

Panic Attacks - My heart feels like it's racing out of my chest. - My throat feels stuck. - Getting lightheaded. Feeling like I'm being held down while I sleep..can't escape. I mostly feel mental effects more than anything.

I can't go to any other office. My insurance won't let me. It is a very small county public mental health clinic. It's the only one in my area. It's all I have. I would have to pay a lot of money to go see a good professional mental health group. I don't have money. I haven't had a job in years.

I was ready to talk about it, but now I have to reschedule everything. It makes me doubt myself. I had a Psychiatrist appointment set perfectly too, but not anymore. This kind of stuff makes me hold back on telling them about my traumatic incident...weirdly enough. It feels like betrayal.

I go to therapy sessions and my therapist is always telling me that I just need breathe and it will help. They don't know how to help me. The true context of why I suffer isn't known to them. It's like a deep secret and my Psychologist keeps rescheduling appointments so I can't really get help...

Living like this is horrible. I wish I could re-live my life some other way without the incident happening.

I read through the article that you have provided and I think it's time my Psych about my traumatic incident. I tried to tell my Psych 2-3 months ago but I just couldn't. I totally avoided it. I became a different person after the incident. I've become reclusive and unable to trust people. I...
