Welcome to PC Seeker5. Do you have a therapist you are working with?

What you are describing are symptoms of PTSD and the lack of desire for certain activities you once enjoyed is a depression that comes with PTSD. And yes the events you describe can be and most likely are PTSD. And the puzzling part of PTSD is that you can go a long time and not realize it and then it can come on all of a sudden and you are asking questions like you are here.

You have come to a good place for support Seeker5 because there are others here that understand what you are saying, and have been in therapy and are working at it. So you will find a lot of comfort here in this victims of abuse and PTSD forums.

But you should not be dealing with this alone, you should seek the help of a therapist that can help you, someone that specializes in PTSD. You have a lot to learn and there are ways for you to heal and get through these issues but you really need help with it. It took me time myself to find the right therapist and I finally did, and I have been here at PC since March and I am still working at it. But you need to let it out and get help, and this PC can support you as well because we do get it, we understand.

Lots of Hugs Seeker5

Thanks for this!
