Welcome to the forum Tamara,

I'm glad you've found this site. There are a lot of supportive people here with various traumas but similar PTSD symptoms, I feel like that is what brings us together. I have found a lot of information here that has really helped me to understand just what it is I was dealing with.

take good care,
peace,

Thank all of you for the warm welcome, I really hope I can find some help on here. I have been in therapy for over a year now, was off work for two months, until i worked out how to get back to work. My ptsd happened at work, but it brought back memories of my past as well, I am on medication, and I really got down because I have had some stressful events in my life as we all do, but when I went back to work I couldn't do it, I had an anixety attack and had to go home. Now mind you that I have had trouble working but with my medication I was able to do it, this time I couldn't process it at all, no matter what medication I took. It was so frustrating because I thought I was well on my way to handling my job, but it just knocked me off my feet, and I feel very very depressed about it, confused as to why it happened,and I feel like I took 10 steps back. Has this happened to anyone else and if so what did you do to help yourself.

Hello tamara. Yes, I have had the experience you describe (took ten steps back). It seems a humbling thing. Sorry about the anxiety attack at work. Good luck and welcome to the forum.
