I get very confused on PTSD. It seems that there is one event that people relate to or are traumatized by. I have 'events' all the time. Anything stressful takes me down for days. For example - my neighbor moved and now I feel isolated and paranoid, hardly leaving my house. I had a bad experience on the bus and now I haven't been able to use public transportation. I got pregnant after having sex only once and even though I loved being a single parent and my daughter is now 30 and doing well, I have been celibate ever since and stayed away from relationships. I fell down stairs a few times and now I can only go down steps with handrails, two feet on one step at a time. When there is a situation that I think is unfair I go into rages before I can think rationally. Having a bad day can take me days to recover - usually staying in bed. I have a new doctor to start within a week and she's a psychiatrist, not a therapist, and I am afraid she may wipe the slate clean and put me on new meds. I have had terrible reactions to many medications and been thru 53 drug trials. I have now been on the same meds for a couple of years and do not want to be a guinea pig again. The only reason I'm getting a new doctor is that I moved to a different state. Is this just anxiety or PTSD? Maybe both? I have been diagnosed bipolar and schizoaffective disorder just for starters. Anything anyone can tell me would be very helpful. Thanks in advance
