Hi,

Because a therapist says they "think" you might have PTSD, it doesn't mean you do. Shrinks are saying you don't even, as you have been to them. You CAN NOT self diagnose... you will create the symptoms in your mind as you read them. What you read is not the overall assessment for an illness either, instead the theory aspects of diagnostic criteria that you read on the Internet are only one part of the process. You met another part by seeing a shrink, you weren't diagnosed because you likely did not meet many of the actual specifics to a diagnostic platform.

You need to seek professional local help to determine what is wrong, if anything. Because you endure some trauma in your life, does not mean you have PTSD.
