Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

Default I Don't Have Bipolar or OCD it's All PTSD
HI my current diagnosis is Bipolar/OCD and PTSD>

Im very frustrated right now, because, I dont believe I have OCD or Bipolar. There is a reason I get so depressed, its because of the guilt I have about surviving a car wreck and my ex b friend dying, and all the other stuff thats happened. I only check doors at night because I was I had my privacy invaded growing up, I only freak out about having my room clean because one time when I was 6 and I didnt I got beat up and ended up at the hospital having stitches.

These are just a few examples of many more.

Im very frustrated.

Im seeing my therapist today. I have written all this down and Im going to let her read it. This will be my 3rd therapist session ever.

Im happy to hear that your writing these things down to show your therapist. Having been in therapy for years, it took me a while to commit to writing things down, and honestly, once i did...it helped alot to navigate threw the mixture of emotions i was having. So good for you...your off to a great start just by doing that in advance. Another issue of therapy i fought for a while was joining a weekly group. I was just too embarrassed etc. Once i gave into my kind ole therapist Janice and finally joined...well, it was incredible the insight it gave me into so many of my issues. Plus, after all the initial fears of group wore off...it was actually a refuge come tuesday afternoons to attend. also...to this day i still have friendships formed out of our group and the support is still as vaulable. just a few thoughts i wanted to share. Good luck on your journey...wish you much love

The bipolar label is hard to shake. Hope your counselor works out well for you. You have the right to be treated for what you want help for.
