Hi all,
I just thought I would introduce myself here as I have recently signed up.
I am 27, trying to make it as a full time photographer and have been diagnosed with PTSD by my GP/Psychotherapist.
I lost my mother very suddenly in july 2011 and have no siblings etc. So, it is just me and dad left now. Apparently Mum had a blood clot which caused a heart attack that instantly killed her less than one hour from dropping me off at my home.
It was tragic and horrible to go through for reasons that I may divulge at a later date.
My marriage deteriorated, surprisingly not because of myself, but mainly because of his infedelity and inability to tell the truth and always getting caught out.
I was only married for just over two years, so not long.
I now have a supportive boyfriend who unfortunately recently lost his mother so he understands even though the circumstances were different.
PTSD - I have been in and out of doctors, psychologists and psychotherapists offices for roughly 10 years now with mental health problems but obviously, after Mum and the events surrounding it, my problems intensified and altered. I have spoken to my GP several times at great length and he referred me to a psychotheraptist who clearly diagnosed PTSD. Upon discussing treatment of the illness, I fled.
I have went unaided in my dealings with it, no meds, no therapists etc but I think it may be time to seek some help.
I don't want this screwing up the perfect relationship I have now.
I just don't want tagged with another mental health label.
