Andrea,
This must be incredibly hard on you. I don't have much advice for you, but I do know that when therapy first begins, it does feel like it's getting worse. I think that happens alot, because we hold in so many emotions and when the dam finally breaks or someone (therapist) breaks it, it all comes out. The feeling can be overwhelming. But I want to emphasize that this is good. That is progress.
I'm not sure about the PTSD for you. Only a doctor can diagnose you and I recommend you going to a therapist that you feel COMFORTABLE with without your husband. This is about you. If they diagnose you, then battle it, but if they suggest something else, then at least you know.
The very best to you and give good wishes to your husband.
I suggest to go to Forms and fill out the questionaires. It'll give you some idea. |
