Okay, this is going to sound weird. When I first went to the clinic I go to for my T and pdoc (sliding scale fee clinic for people with no insurance), I was diagnosed as Bipolar NOS, with anxiety and PTSD. I apparently have the symptoms and signs of having PTSD, but I don't have one main bad event that I can recall that I think would give me post traumatic stress.

I had a rough childhood, I won't go into details in case it triggers someone, but it was bad. Lots of neglect, some verbal/physical abuse, and my mother struggled with MPD/DID when I was growing up. Could events that I am uncomfortable thinking about, but don't see as huge be what created the PTSD? I'm just really confused about my diagnosis, as I don't see what created it. Could I be blocking something out- is it possible to have symptoms, but not remember why?

I don't receive the best counseling since it is an income based clinic, and I haven't yet asked my doctor about this. I plan to next time I see her (august 2nd), I just wanted to get some outside perspective before I go.
