Did you get anxiety, ocd etc as part of ur ptsd??

I still have huge amounts of anxiety. That and avoidance are my biggest problems. Have you looked at the Panic attacks and Anxiety forum area? It can be very helpful.

@Alz, my hope for you is that you find a good therapist and begin to heal. This is apparently one of many things that has happened in your life that needs to be addressed.... We can all share all our symptoms, but it really would benefit you to find someone who can help and guild you thru this very painful time. No two people handle things the same, no two people interpret the pain the same... so am really hoping for your sake that you find someone to talk with and possibly be on meds for anxiety.... Wishing you healing and comfort. gentle hugs if you accept.

i am getting therapy and using medication... maybe the medication needs to be increased.. its been 4 weeks.

What is your T saying about your anxiety? Are they trying to teach you some relaxation or breathing techniques? Are you reading any of the books on meditation ect? I am not trying to blow you off here.. I could share my experience and you would still have questions...because your heart, your soul and your experience is different. Tho I am sure the feelings are very both to the same... and my heart breaks that you have to go thru this.. It changes us... for good or not.... time tells... so gather as much support as you can... I truly hope you have people around you who can help...sending gentle hugs for one of the worst times of your life.... take care of yourself.

my therapist has tried emdr with me and i myself do the breathing and meditation.. even to start meditation takes time... i was scared of doing that.. right now its just a lot of fear about going insane... but anyway.. lets hope this changes me for the better.. although this time is the really tough.... but like they say: this too shall pass... good or bad.
