Hi everyone
I belong to another ptsd forum but the members there are not very supportive. They only care about people who agree with them.
Anywhoo, I am a 34 yr old female with ptsd. I have it from childhood trauma-mentally, physically and sexually abused.
My ptsd symptoms seem to come and go. I tend to be stable for a while and am able to cope with life. However, when too much stress comes around, I fall apart and the symptoms come back. Its like I am on a rollercoaster, continual up and down moods. I am not bipolar, of which I thought I was but my former therapist said that I do not fit the important criteria for bipolar disorder.
I wanted to see if this was a common problem with people who have ptsd. Do you go through phases in your life where you feel like you have conquered ptsd but then to only realize later on that its back?
I also wanted to introduce myself and say hello to everyone. I hope that I find this forum more supportive and understanding than the other ptsd forum.
Take care
-Lorena
