What you wrote makes sense.

I started this poll because I keep bouncing back and forth, denying and accepting I have PTSD.

I was asked by a doctor if I was agoraphobic. I rarely am able to leave my apartment, unless my husband is with me. I just don't feel safe. I am unable to interact with strangers without panic or fighting tears. I'm so scared of unfamiliar things. Those are the main things that I avoid and forget that they are symptoms of my illness. I haven't really dealt with the emotions, too scary. It's hard to face this stuff but I believe understanding your illness helps one in recovery.

I was curious if others struggle with the same thing that I do. Hmmmm . . . .
