Forshortened Future?

Status
Not open for further replies.
A sense of a foreshortened future is an avoidance symptom of PTSD. People who experience this symptom feel as though their life will somehow be cut short without any real explanation why. They may also feel as though they won't be able to reach milestones in their life, such as a career, marriage or children.

A sense of a foreshortened future can vary in terms of severity. Some people may have just a mild sense that their life will be cut short, whereas others may have a specific prediction regarding the length of their life span and are completely convinced of their premature death. This symptom can be very difficult to cope with and may lead to isolation, hopelessness, helplessness and depression.

I hope this answers your question.

peace,
LH
