Well, feel free to vent here and we will be as supportive as we possibly can. I am not sure how much direct advice we can offer you though really. That one is going to be Anthony's call, the board owner. While yes, we will be here and should for venting and I don't want to deny you that, but you being under 18 may leave us as far as advice with our hands tied, I cannot say for sure if you may make it out of moderation, again not my call. But there is a lot you can glean from the board still.
But a couple books that may assist you and maybe you can get a hold of are "I Can't Get Over It" A Handbook for Trauma Survivors Second Edition by Aphrodite Matsakis, Ph.D.. A PTSD specialist. This one is directly geared for PTSD. The other is "Feeling Good Handbook" David D. Burns, M.D.. This one is mainly geared for depression but it involves a lot of the distorted thinking patterns we have with PTSD. Both involve fill in the blank or journals to do homework in. They can prove very helpful and make sure it is cleared with your doctor or guardian.
Again I do not want to deny support as we are a support group but I am unsure how much direct advice we can really give you. Not a single regular poster is a doctor, we are all with PTSD helping one another is the point.
But venting and getting it out of you is a good thing as bottled up never helps.
I am curious though do you live with your mother now? Does she know you have sought out an online support group? What is your home life like currently where you are? Ask them for assisting you in getting these books. Christmas is just around the corner! What type of therapy are you in? How often do you go? Do you have on going treatments or check ups from physical problems from the accident? Sorry, if that is a lot of questions. |
