I hear ya'. Sounds like my story some years back.

When I began taking Citalopram, there was great relief. Also reading Dr. Bruce Perry's attachment theory books, The Boy Who Was Raised by Dogs and Born for Love pulled me out of the ditch by showing me the road towards the re-building of brain pathways through healthier attachments. The past finally made sense and could be put behind; the re-building of broken brain pathways with my therapist who specializes in such has been empowering!

There is hope: I have GAD, OCD, and chronic PTSD but am no longer depressed, overanxious, or suffering from those awful turbo nightmares. I eat a good diet and exercise--and listen well to my body signals and take care of myself. I no longer hang out with the core dysfunctional family who seek no help. May something in this post be of good service to those who can relate. Susan Quinn
