Hello I have not posted for a few because I could not remember where the site was, etc.
I have been officially diagnosed with PTSD along with Recurrent Major Depression Anxiety NOS and Fibromyalgia. I am not happy about it but at least I know I am not alone nor going crazy.
I had a counseling appointment today and it was really emotionally tough on me. My counselor, who is great by the way, says I am at the point where I am supposed to be, but man it hurts and it is tough. I have to do vertical arrows this week. It is going to be a tough one - I probably will have to buy stock in tissue at some point. :)
I am married and my husband also suffers from PTSD from a stabbing many years ago. Sometimes it is difficult to put things into perspective and understand his side of things but the great thing is we get along great and we have only had one fussing argument in the 7 years we have been married.
I have two wonderful grown children, whom I am very very proud of and miss terribly as I have moved out of the state where one lives with his family and the other is in a different state for school.
Both my parents were alcoholics, but they were at opposite ends of the spectrum. My father was a happy drunk and my mother was a cruel one. She is still alive but my father passed away from cancer in 2004. My mom still has some issues and I have recently decided that it best I do not stay in contact with her any longer.
I am an only child with siblings. I have an older half brother and 8 younger half brothers and sisters. My parents only had me. they were married and had other children either previous to me or after me.
I am in my 40s and am just now getting help with my issues.
Well that is about it for now. I look forward to reading posts and relating to others hopefully (my counselor says I need to get more friends and support).
thanks,
