I keep having recurring angry thoughts. Not all of them are re-enactments of traumatic events. Rather, most of them are projections of former abusive co-workers and former friends (who hurt or disappointed me) turning on me or subverting what I happen to be doing. My emotions instantaneously get involved and I get very angry; sometimes my "fight or flight syndrome" kicks in too. Is this PTSD or a form of it? I am working with a T on these recurring thoughts but they are persistent and scary and emotionally tiring. I have been suffering from them for several years now.
Also, has anyone with PTSD or symptoms similar to those described above had any success with medications? If so, which ones? I have tried anti-d's but have not had much success with them except for them making me sleepy and tired and sexually non-functional. Granted, the extra sleep helps but they were no cure.
Many thanks for your help!
