When Have You Been Diagnosed With Ptsd?

[RecoveringGirl]

Mine was emotional abuse from parents, so pretty much throughout childhood. I was diagnosed at 21 years old, nearly 9 years ago. After that I did EMDR therapy for about a year or two. I had tried counseling before for depression/anxiety unsuccessfully. Now I do pretty well but do go in for a tune up every couple years when something crazy happens in the family :)

Diagnosed close to 20 years ago, re-evaluated just recently, still meet the criteria for PTSD. I am doing so much better though, I have a lot more skills for coping and the symptoms are generally less severe than they were years ago.
