Hello,
I am new to this forum. I have no idea where else to turn. I have been diagnosed with PTSD and Bipolar disorder in the middle of 2013. My PTSD is from a series of very abusive and violent incidents in my teenage years '09-'12. For the last few years since diagnosis, medication (1200mg lithium daily), therapy and group therapy, I had been doing incredible. The flashbacks had basically stopped. Last night i experienced my first flashback in probably two years. I ended up severely injuring my best friend, and my girlfriend was so afraid of me I feel i lost her as well. For the first time in my life I feel like my PTSD and flashbacks are now a part of me that is going to define me, and is incurable. I am petrified of what will happen when my flashbacks come back next. Im not sure where I am going with this, but i am scared and not sure how to get them to stop again, Does anyone have any recommendations or help of any kind.
