HI matt. I read what you wrote and I'm new to this site. I was just told by my theripst that I have PTSD now. Mine was brought on by a rape that happend to me 8 years ago and the man who did it came back into my life 3 years ago. Ever since then I have been avoiding everyone and avoiding everyone. I really am honked off at myself allowing this man to have this control over me again. When I spoke to my theripst about anxiety issue she told me that was a part of PTSD. So sir there is still hope for us. We have to continue to think outside the box and know who we are deep inside. My word I have to tell myself that all the time when I have an attact cause of a smell, or a sound of that night. I pray for God's help all the time through this. Since I know I can't do this on my own.
Have a wonderful nite sir, crumbs
