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 Looking For a Little Guidance - Broken Heart
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

Welcome guypeterson,

I read your story in the PTSD section and I can see you are suffering from trust issues.
Many on this forum have felt similar symptoms, as it can be part of PTSD.
Whether you have PTSD or not, I couldn't say, I'm not a Doctor.
