Welcome to PC iris2000!

The forums don't have the power to diagnose people, but even people who are not licensed therapists or counselors can start you down a healthier path. One of the tools you can use on PC as well as the forums is an online quiz to find the presence of symptoms related to conditions such as PTSD. Again it is not an official diagnosis but it can be a useful aid in allocating treatment, especially in your case where symptoms could also overlap with anxiety or depression.

Even when a diagnosis or quiz can further treatment, remember that you are not defined solely by a medical label. You know what you are? You are a person. With every person come strengths, weaknesses, and needs that are unique and deserve appreciation and respect. And this includes hardships like the one you are facing. As part of the human experience we also have unique life paths, but as for hardships, we all go through similar problems and challenges, so you are never alone in what you are facing. In fact your situation sounds very similar to what brought me here back in 2017.

I hope that you find the support that you need here, and I think you've come to the right forum. Happy posting!
