Welcome to the boards! I would also recommend seeing a psych to help figure out and treat what is going on. I have been diagnosed with multiple psych disorders...but none ever seemed to really explain what was going on. When I finally found a therapist who ran a battery of tests and spend some time with me, C-PTSD was the resulting diagnosis. For me, it really helped to know that something came close to describing what was going on with me. Although it is not a diagnosis in the current DSM-IV (C-PTSD is a diagnosis being considered for release in the DSM-V in 2010/11), some psychs and therapists are currently using it.
