Undiagnosed Question

[Charlie8872]

I'm not sure if I have PTSD or not so I was hoping that everyone could provide some feedback. My dad died five years ago from lung cancer. And over the past 18 months I've had a really hard time sleeping and I've had to drink a lot to stay asleep throughout the night. I keep having flashbacks from the day that he died and it honestly haunts me. I'm not depressed I just have constant flashbacks of him dying in front of me.

There's a bunch of PTSD groups in my area but a lot of them are centered around veterans and women. And I don't want to show up.

Any advice would be extremely helpful I appreciate all of y'all's feedback in advance thanks!

I'd start with a therapist. There are a could other things that come to mind, but an evaluation is what you need.
