Well what can I say... I'm only 22 years old and have suffered with PTSD and depression for nearly 5 years. I was in a very abusive relationship and ended up pregnant....
I managed to escape my abusive partner before the birth of my daughter who was 5 weeks early because I also suffer with uncontrolled epilepsy which also has a impact on the depression and PTSD. After the birth of my daughter I became more depressed and suffered anxiety attacks, flash backs and nightmares. My local health authority wasn't much use and I ended up in a mental health hospital when my baby was only 8weeks old. Luckily my mum cared for her whilst I was ill. It took a while but I recovered and returned home with my mum,dad sister and baby girl who was 10months old by this point.
After a while I decided to give "LOVE" another try. Luckily I wasn't abused physical or sexualy this time, but the emotional was just as bad. I ended up being left after I found out I was being cheated on....
Yet I found love and decided to give it one last try and I'm happy to say 2 years on I'm in a beautiful home and look after my step-daughter. My own daughter still lives with my parents as she has special needs and with my health conditions its safer for her to be at "home" with nanny,
My PTSD and depression laid dormant for a while but has now re-appeared in full strength so I've joined this site to try getting help,advice and support and offer any of mine own to fellow sufferers..... Don't be afraid to get in contact if you wanna talk or think you can help me...
