Why does your therapist believe you have PTSD? What have you tried? Were you on anti-depressants when you tried x, y, or z?

My therapist has mentioned PTSD because of trauma, that I didn't know was "trauma".
I haven't been on a lot. My Pdoc said there aren't really other options.
I've been on Effexor, Lithium, Seroquel, and Zopiclone. There was another option other than Seroquel, but it has a possible side effect of ovarian cysts and I've already had a problem with that.
I just don't care. Does that make sense? I need help for sleep for sure, but I don't know if it really matters if I'm on meds or not otherwise.
I've been through this before. I have a hard time relating or remembering how things are when I'm off meds. Or if I'm depressed, I can't remember what it feels like not to be depressed. Or if my mood is fine, I can't remember the depression or relate to people who are depressed.
It's so messed.
