Ptsd Newly Diagnosed

Hello everyone,

I am a 21 year old guy, I am currently studying finance at a university in England. Well, about my childhood, I had a happy and normal childhood till I turned 13, when I was sexually abused by an employee, more specifically a driver, I didn't tell anyone then though this continued for over a month, because some how this ruthless and soul less coward made me feel like it was my fault, I lived in denial, and even now only my psychiatrist and my closest friend knows, plus also I feel guilty that if this guy harms some other child then its my fault since he was never caught because I didn't come forward.. Then five years ago my mother was diagnosed with N stage cancer, and watched her suffer a painful death, and less than a year later, one of my closest friends died after being involved in an accident, and now another of my friends passed away less than a week ago.

I have at times begun to loose my temper now very easily, and feeling suicidal, I feel like I am being targeted and the universe is punishing me by harming me and taking away people I love. My psychiatrist diagnosed me with PTSD.

Others who have been diagnosed with PTSD, do you feel the same, like its not fair, like why the hell is it you? .. I mean I am just confused all these emotions running though me.
 
Welcome SL... glad you're here.

For myself... reason won out over an idealized sense of fairness. The fact is that adversity in all forms happen, and they happen to many people. I had to turn the anger into what I was going to do about it. Very sorry, for your loses.
 
Welcome to the Forum SL,

I'm very sorry for losses, they can begin to feel overwhelming and unbearable with the symptoms of PTSD. I was diagnosed just prior to losing my best friend, yet having endured so many other hardships, I'm guessing there just comes a breaking point for some of us and that feeling of fear or helplessness can turn to anger or rage. It's good you have found this site, there is a lot of information about PTSD and many supportive people here.

I hope you continue to post and take care of yourself.
Peace and healing,
Rain
 
Hi SL, welcome to the forum. I'm also in the UK, I'm in Shropshire but there a quite a few from the UK here.

I'm sorry for what you have been through and even sorrier that it has led to PTSD. This site is wonderful for articles and information and members are so willing to share.

I have been here almost 1 year and I have made huge progress in managing my symptoms with the help and support of my H and children, a wonderful T and the support and friendship I have found on this site.

I look forward to knowing you more.
KP
