Sufferer I Are Fine And Dandy

[Glo809]

I had a suspected TIA, then a wee bit later a missed head on by inches.

Then things that I thought were buried deep, started to emerge.

The shocker to me was this.

My company offers a life Wellness thing, and I took advantage of it, the guy who met with me said, you have ptsd and I can't fix you in 5 visits.

So here I am, trying to understand why can I , CAN NOT FIX OR MAKE THIS STUFF GO AWAY... FOREVER!!!!

I would suggest you look into getting yourself a full term therapist, one that can help you in your time, and not on a deadline. The path to healing is not a quick or easy one. There are some great posts here and some great people, I hope you find the help you are seeking here

@Glo809 Welcome to the forum!

Only a mental health professional can make a definitive diagnosis, and PTSD is not something that can be "cured" in five sessions. Take the time to read the various threads and posts here and learn as much as you can about the disorder. But do seek professional help if there are symptoms that are disrupting your life, for regardless of the diagnosis, getting one is the first step in finding ways to get better.

The counselor I met with is going to look into my insurance so we can continue the avenue of discovery after the fifth session.

Meanwhile, I have found some podcasts on this and of course this site has become the first and last thing to check every night (I work overnight).

Greetings to one and all!

I have to take a deep breath and count to 4 ... hold it for a 2 count ... let it go on a 4 count.

I have sought out help two other times and lied my ass off when the hard questions were asked, but not this time.

I have asked 4 people to watch over me as we go through this, they all have a common trait, and thas is a bs detector, each of their
professions needs this talent to be successfull.

And for them to take time out of their lives to be at arms length should I need them in a time of crisis, I can not thank them enough.

For each one is stationed along my common very predictable path.

My next appt is early next week and I have feelings all over the place in taking my first 'honest' step on the road to recovery.....

And the Mrs. who will carry the load when I'm home. She knows what is coming, and she is still here, I am truly blessed to have her by my side....
