Im wondering how to officially get confirmation on what I STRONGLY feel is Post Traumatic Stress. On 3 different layers too.
My mother had MS and died when I was 18. I still cry and get nightmares weekly. She was bed ridden for the last 4 years of her life and I had to occasionally take care of her. She couldnt close her eyes, couldnt move, had bed sores, I can write a book on how horrible it was.
I have gotten MANY panic attacks before I knew what they were. Ive been rushed to the ER over 15+ times.

Then I was abused at a job about 5-6 years ago. I have nightmares about that, I find it VERY difficult to fill out ANY application or work on my resume. I work on OTHER peoples resumes and do well but I cant do mine. My hand shakes and I sometimes get panic attacks. Again I could go on.

Then about 10 years ago I was robbed, attacked and knocked out. I lost my upper teeth and was sent to a hospital unconscience. I didnt have insurance because I was unemployed. HUGE bills and I had to file for bankruptcy. I have had over $12K in dental work. My most recent dental work was 3 years ago. I havent had sex in 4+ years I cant date effectively because I start to stutter and twitch unless I drink. I just recently after YEARS have kissed a woman. Every relationship I have with a woman is a one dater.

I am soooooooooo screwed up :( I CANT LIVE LIKE THIS! Im unemployeed AGAIN and it about to run out. And I try SOOO HARD to search for a job but I start to shake and tear up or my breathing gets very bad and I get heart palpitations. I bought a can of o2 and use that and then take xanex but then Im out of it. Ive been sleeping days and up nights.

I need someones help and I have NO IDEA what to do :(
 
Hi soggy popcorn, and welcome to the forum. Well, coming here was certainly a step in the right direction. I will say to you what I say to everyone, this does sound like it might be ptsd but of ocurse, only a qulified professional can make that determination. In the meantime, have a look around... there is a lot of very good and very important information on this forum.
 
Hi Soggy Popcorn,

Welcome to the PTSD Forum. Take some time to check out mental health services in your community. Many times there are free or sliding scale services as it is important to get a diagnosis. Whether or not you have PTSD will be up to the professionals to decide, but obviously whatever is wrong is interfering with your everyday life.

There is a lot of great information here, so take your time and read. You might want to check out some of the posts on anxiety for some helpful tips.

Wishing you the best.

Debbie
