Either way. I get it though, it is very annoying not be able to control something as simple as your hands or legs being restless, dropping everything sort of thing.



I feel like you're reading my mind.

Specially the part that says "it makes me feel vulnerable and rather humilated" it does make me feel less, and the few ones in my life that know about my PTSD do accentuate this as well.



People have ridiculed the situation in my case, I was innocent to believe at least my family would be sensitive about it but I guess not. Let alone doctors (others besides psychiatrist and psychologist)

I cannot express how much it aggravates me to have to speak up about anything of it with anyone. At this point I guess I just go into shock when trying to speak, because all I can do is cry and I get sick almost instantly: I recently had to go into physical therapy due to acute stress causing migraines, and the PT kept asking about old injuries, I just can't really say anything anymore.

It's been 3 years with my doctor and I have yet to open up about things such as sexual abuse and physical abuse. Even psychological abuse has been harder than I thought to talk about.

Personally, these things make me feel absolutely useless.

How do any of you fight that?
I know what you mean about it making you feel useless...that is how I feel at times. I mean the other day my friend had to help me cook because it was getting to me....and to me its like 'what the hell why cant I do something so simple'

I mean its strange I was aware of PTSD before I got it.....I even thought 'man that has to be a terrible disorder.' never thought I'd have to actually experience having it.
