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 Really Gonna Hit Post This Time
I was seeing a counselor last year who doesn't believe in labels, but kept saying stuff, like "well, there must have been some trauma", or "That's because of the trauma", and there there was nothing 'wrong' with me, which aggravated the heck out of me. I had noooo understanding of what 'trauma' meant, and I was so convinced that I must have a personality disorder and just wanted to get on with 'fixing' it. I got really frustrated and stopped going. For some reason a few weeks (a month?) or so ago the idea to look up trauma just popped into my head, and I had a lightbulb moment. Have been lurking here for awhile now, but haven't posted, because I don't know if that is enough of a diagnosis to be talking here or not I am back on the waiting list to go back to counseling, it will probably be until august to get back in.

Thank You for the welcome Is it ok to participate in the forums? I'm pretty sure that this is what that counsellor was getting at, but at the time I got really defensive, so she started side stepping the issue. Or should I wait till someone says 'definatly, yes, this is what you have'?
