I signed up as a “Supporter” due to my daughter’s trauma last Fall, but I am also a “Sufferer” (gawd, I hate that term, lol). My PTSD symptoms have resurfaced and have compromised daily functioning considerably over the last ten months. Thankfully no one looks over my shoulder at work.
I began meds early this week (Zoloff) and, although I’m a little nauseous, I think they’re starting to work.
I also talked to my two eldest sons and told them I’ve had PTSD for a number of years and why (step-son’s father’s psychological and physical abuse). They said they had known for years, but they didn’t want to broach the subject with me – they wanted me to tell them! Long story: I won’t go into details.
I’m glad “it’s out” now and think my sons were relieved I (finally) opened up. I know I am! I’ve been sick of the lies and secrets for years. I begin therapy (again :) the first of October and I’m actually looking forward to it, but maybe it’s the meds ;)
