I've posted in other forums about my struggles to get help. I finally managed to get through an intake and ended up with a definite diagnosis of PTSD, possibly GAD and depression NOS too.
I can't say I didn't kind of see this coming, but it's still a little surprising. The treatment is along the lines of what I want though so it's ok. Can't see a psychiatrist till February but at least it's progress. I have a standing offer to do therapy with her but I don't want to.
Feeling a little shaky, it was hard. My mother went and held my hand. I feel like I need some time to come to terms with it though. Were you surprised at all when you got diagnosed? I guess I just didn't think it was that bad but she was very certain.
