I had no idea. I had the fortunate understanding that I have a problem yesterday. I am going to have to dig deep now to figure out how I arrived at this place.

What are my symptoms?

1. I think that by talking and talking a lot that I am proving how smart I am.

2. I finish talking sometimes and I have no idea what I just said.

3. I get lost even in my own words.

4. I forget what I was talking about in mid sentence because as my mouth is moving and words are coming out, I will actually hear a word I said and it sparks another thought and then I go off in that direction. Once I finish that thought, I can't go back to the original thought because I forgot what I was talking about in the first place.

5. I have nearly no friends.

6. I get my feelings hurt easily therefore people are afraid to tell me the truth (expect my boss...yesterday, which was the greatest sit down I've ever had).

7. I am afraid that people will figure out something about me so I try to talk them away...I think!

8. I get lost often and use my GPS to get me where I need to go.

9. I can't remember how to spell anything anymore. Even short everyday words are lost from my mind at times. I just use MS Word to do my thinking.

10. I talk with great passion and say it is that I love my job...which I do but I get very excited when I speak about how the company can improve or do better.

11. I have thoughts of starting a business at least 1000 times a day. I see a problem or issue in-front of me and I start a business in my mind to solve that problem. If a person tells me something they wish was available, I start to invent the resolution in my mind even if I should be thinking or doing something else at that time.

More to come....

I need help.

Thanks,

Hi Anonymust

I have read your post and was wondering what type of trauma you have suffered, and where you arrived at the possible diagnosis of PTSD from what you have posted above.

Self diagnosis is not an option with PTSD, you do need to see a specialist for this. Speaking to them and explaining your Traumatic Experience, so they can guide you to the correct treatment if that is what is needed.

The following links may help with this.

Maybe you just need to share a bit more so we can understand better.

Take care.

My wife left me after being married just over a year and took my son who was only 1....the story goes much deeper but it was devastating to me.
I'm sorry. How can I delete m account?
 
Hi Anonymust

You cannot delete your account. It does state this clearly in the forum rules, which you should have read as you registered. I have posted the link below for you to re read and check the the paragraph below that I have copied for you. Leaving it as it is and not posting anymore, is what you can do.

Account Deletion

Your wife leaving you with your son, must have been devastating in many ways, but not some thing that would cause PTSD. Unless you have had some kind of traumatic experience that put your life in danger, or you witnessed something traumatic that put someone else's life in danger, to name just a few examples.
