Poll Which Parts Of Your Life If Affected Most By Ptsd?

[freyjacat]

It affects every aspect of my life listed above, but I chose other because it also greatly affects my ability to be intimate with my partner. Not the most important thing, but still something I haven’t been able to get back since my Diagnosis. I am guessing I’m not alone here.

 

[Still Standing]

Not only is my social life affected, but my family life as well. So much hurt; so much misunderstanding, so much fear, so much numbing.

Definitely my relationship with other people.

School and relationships. I struggle to connect with people I know and am very intensely afraid of meeting new people, so I don't have a social circle anymore. And it's very hard to go to class and keep up on work, so my grades tend to suffer.

 

[Lionheart]

I chose "other" because all are affected, pretty much equally.

I have been disabled by PTSD, officially, for the past 18 years, so that I haven't worked. Relationships have suffered, social life is minimal, sleep is plagued by nightmares, (which I thought were gone), and concentration is difficult.
