I found this site about a week ago after (again) looking for some type of answer on the internet. My journey is one that has taken me to the depths of despair and back again as this seems to be the course of my affliction. Formally dx'ed in March of 2007 with ptsd and related symptoms of depression and anxiety. Presently counsel with therapist 2x monthly and have been prescribed meds, in May, Ativan and Zoloft. The events that made this illness bloom are multi fold as there was a physical trauma in 1995 that nearly cost me my life, a gunshot wound, self inflicted due to a hunting accident. Having survived that or denied that, I was split by a borderline spouse in 2001, and this is the event that brought my ptsd to its full manifestation. The road has been very turbulent at times and very isolated to say the least. This is not to say that these past five + years have been void of any positive self improvement and self growth. I am surely saying, this time has been a life changing time with me becoming much less selfish and more altruistic in my being, which is *prolly part and parcel of this disorder, but in my humble opinion, its a good thing. As I have poked around on this site, things have been said in posts and I now know *wifout any doubt I have this disorder. There is a muriad of other things I would like to share at some point, but I guess it will all come out in its due time. Thanks to all who read this post and I look forward to speaking with you. I *dew feel a bit better having this intro done as I've been avoiding it for *daze, thus I was the only one breathing life into this monster that has been chasing me. Bout par ...eh? TBK
