Hi I'm 25 years old. I grew up around a lot of domestic violence. I was also physically and mental abused up until I was old enough to swing back. I had spent years in therapy and tried medications for Anxiety, that's all I knew it was. The only way I could explain it. I'm an recovering addict over a year off drugs. So once I decided to quit, medication became a huge issue for me. I was fortunate enough to get state insurance threw Loveless SCI. When I switched therapist, I would tell them up front no pills and finally found a therapist who agreed they were not needed and in fact believed that taking downers only reinforced Anxiety. I now know for sure I have PTSD. my therapist has me doing exposure therapy, kind of like facing fears in a safe way and allowing the brain to process them correctly instead of pushing those things a side. Of course I'm no professional but you can google PTSD or youtube it research it and see if those symptoms describe you. you are also welcome to message me if you would like to talk or need any information I can't offer a whole lot as I am new to this form of therapy but the web is an amazing tool. wishing you lots of luck.
