I am the same. For years I avoided my childhood, family, places that reminded me until I had to go to back and BAMB i end up with PTSD. I had no idea I had it until I finally sought help 4/5 months later. I was scared I was becoming schizo seeing flasbacks constantly. I tried to work but it just made me worse until I ended up attempting suicide. I don't blame work tho I just couldn't cope with everything that happened at hte same time. I haven't been able to work now for nearly two years. I'm hoping that as I get better and stronger I can try voluntary work to get used to be around people and build up from there. I felt ashamed and guilty about not working at first but then i realised that my quality of life and mental state were more important so that I never try suicide ever again. Sometimes you just need time out.
