Hi fairlina, It's nice to meet you. Welcome! I am also new. I have not been diagnosed, but I from reading information on what you have, I do believe I have the same thing. I had a pretty traumatic childhood, beginning at age 2 or 3. Like you, I was able to hold down all or most of the...

Hi Ladybug, I experience the very same symptoms, and I am new as well. Nice to meet you.

A few times, I was lying in my bed almost deathly ill. I had a fever of 104 and I couldn't move, but I didn't want to ask for help, because I felt pathetic. My boyfriend has always been so good to me, but he refuses to lean on me, so I was afraid to lean on him..for fear he might think I'm weak...

I seem to have a delayed reaction. I was able to push all my hurt down and keep it hidden for years, but then it came bubbling up to the surface in full force, and threw my into panic attacks and seizures. I had a traumatic childhood, from age 2 to age 18. I was able to act like nothing...

I diagnosed myself, after seeing a neurologist, who told me that he would test me for epilepsy if I could afford it; but that he's just about certain that my seizures are all caused by extreme trauma. I researched it on the web, and found PTSD. The symptoms all seemed to match, except that I...

I think it just depends upon the person. For years, I've been just pushing my symptoms way way down, and holding them there, at the bottom. I make myself do what I have to do. I need to, in order to feel as though I'm worth something. I seem to feel worthless quite often. I have learned to...

I smoke when I'm very sad. I think I do it to take my anger out. I don't know why I'm taking it out on myself, but it seems to help me to feel better.

Sometimes, when I am faced with a stressful event and if it at all reminds me of how I felt during a period of trauma, I feel a surge of pain fill me and it is so much, that I can not speak any words. Once, that happened during my quarterly review at work. It was not the bast timing, but...

I have not been formally diagnosed for PTSD, but I feel very strongly that this is what I have. It negatively impacts my daily activities, and my bedroom is a direct reflection of that. I cannot make myself move during the day, because I feel like I'm dreaming. I noticed that I only feel alive...

I began feeling as though I wasn't sure where I was at times, after years of trauma during childhood. I thought it would get better. It got to where I could not realize the age of my family members. I kept thinking they were the same age as they were back in the days of the trauma. It took me a...
