Hello to whoever reads this!
I have had 45+ years of anxiety, and have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety disorder; I have also had a couple of major depressive episodes. I have a wonderful psychiatrist K who I've done therapy with.
I don't think I have PTSD, but I have decided it's worth exploring that possibility with K when I see her next.
While thinking about it, I found this site. I've been reading a few threads and my past traumatic experiences seem so minor in comparison, but I know that I don't have to rank them and that I "own" my experiences, yadda yadda. :-)
Anyhow, I just wanted to say hi. I'll probably post more after I've talked with K.
Ciao!
