The OCD, just curious, was that before symtoms or situations that caused PTSD? Or when you are more willing to open up do you know what things make you OCD? I ask as with PTSD the docs go on this little lable game and run with it. I swear it is like a game of pin the tail on the donkey LOL. I have a laundry list of what are disorders in my paper work and OCD is on it, but all of mine revolve around PTSD. I mean without PTSD none of the others would exsist... So in the end I just say I have PTSD, and it is a lot easier to say just one LOL.
I too have had this for many years and had no clue. I just thought I was a bit of a nut and off... At least knowing what is wrong has set me on track as to how to fix it the best I can :) |
My OCD started right after my first traumatic event(I had a 3 traumatic events... 1 at age 11, and 2 at age 27). The last two just made my PTSD much worse, but yeah, I guess it did all start with that first violent event in my childhood. I never thought about that!! Thank you
