So I'm pretty sure I have PTSD... at least that's what this trauma specialist thinks, and I have thought for a long time. I've come here to see if these things I've experienced sound familiar to anyone.
I know people don't "judge" around here, but please don't laugh when I explain that my PTSD is from a breakup when I was 15. I know it wasn't life threatening or anything of that matter, but it destroyed me at the time... and it certainly felt like life was over.
Anyway... I'm looking for a little guidance as to whether or not my feelings sound familiar... because while the trauma specialist thinks its PTSD definitely, my psychiatrist laughs at that idea. I'll continue my story in the other forum where it looks like longer postings are more appropriate.
Thanks,
Guy
