TRIGGER WARNING Ive been diagnosed with ptsd. Any imput? So I have had many nervous break downs is what I call because severe anxiety coupled with depression. I have had several over twenty year span. When I was diagnosed I was not given a specie reason. What I'm trying to get is the nervous break down cause ptsd with anyone else? I know it sounds weird but I had a therapist mention to me that stunning a toe can be traumatic? I believe that my nervous break downs are because the current one I am struggling with made me want do myself in because I didn't want deal with another one. I am guilt ridden, embarrassed about what I did and was broadcasted by my brother when I would have rather saved face and recover with having to worry about all of family knowing despite how loving they are.
