Undiagnosed Good evening, frens. Been dealing with PTSD for several years now.

Good evening, everyone. Former doctor here. I left my residency training program several years ago due to very unfortunate and convoluted circumstances. The story is too long and complex for me to put into words for now. Hopefully soon I can be able to tell my story here. I'm glad there's a forum and community for people struggling with PTSD.

I have felt very guilty and feel like I don't deserve to deal with PTSD, as many people on here dealt with far greater tragedies. My PTSD doesn't come from a single event, per se, but more psychological manipulation, threats to my career, character assassination, etc..., and it can be difficult to put all of that into words for other people to understand.

It's tough going from being a normal, high functioning person to struggle to get out of bed in the morning after losing everything I had worked so hard for. I'm hoping this forum can help me out with some stuff. Be well, everyone.

Welcome, sorry you have a reason to be here.

I've struggled a lot with guilt, and not feeling I've had it "bad enough" to warrant being the way I've turned out... it can get better.
