Undiagnosed Hey All!

[Emmie420]

Hello Everyone,
I'm new to this to this forum. I've been dealing with something like PTSD for a long time now after I was bullied throughout my childhood and teen years and I'm finally going to fight for recovery as my PTSD has gone untreated for a long time and because of that it has gotten worse, this is difficult for me to admit but for a while I've been having very violent visualisation of hurting people and it scares me as I'm not a violent person, I'm a lover not a fighter but this has been a flag for me that I need to reach out and seek help. I always thought that things would heal in time but it hasn't and I don't know how to fix it and I think talking to other PTSD sufferers may really help... :)

@Emmie420 Welcome to the forum! :)

Have you consulted with a therapist or other mental health professional? Having a diagnosis is the first step, because you need to know what you are dealing with in order to know how to treat it. So many disorders have overlapping symptoms and that is what makes self-diagnosis so dangerous.

There are a lot of posts that address various symptoms and I hope you find it helpful.

Hey and thank you.
I did speak to therapist a while back and they said what I'm experiencing sounded like PTSD but I'm not sure that makes me diagnosed. I'm booking an appointment so I can be properly diagnosed and get some help.
