When I read your thread, I could not help but to so understand where you are coming from. Speaking from my own personal experience, finding someone you can talk to, who understands, and I mean really "gets it" is like explaining the color blue to a blind person...I wish I could tell you people in general will understand.....but it will be very difficult...people can not begin to understand an experience that is so far out of their " wheel house " what you might hear more often....is "why can't you just forget about it, snap out of it"......I did my best to ignore it, deny it, use addictions to deal with it...but it would not go away...in fact it got much,much worse...refuse to deal with it and it does not go away....every time you stumble it will come back with vengeance ...it will wreck your life,destroy any hope you have of having a normal relationship...so ever time someone tells me why can't you forget about it , it's in the past ,just go back to work....I want to punch them hard, very hard in the face I tried that for 20 years, why the hell do you think I am at where I am now. I would of loved to have had access to board like this many years ago....instead I was lost, terrified and alone, trying to do the best I could ...very long answer, coming here will help, it will help your recovery a lot....the most important thing I can say to you....find the right therapist, be very very careful who you choose , not to sound overly dramatic ....your very life may well depend on it. Find a trauma therapist, someone who has years of experience treating PTSD . You will need someone to help you on professional level, build a framework so you can get from day to day and help you understand what is happening to you. I wish you the best, and hopes this helps.
