Julie,

Nobody can have power over you unless you give it to them. Sometimes not giving them the power is harder to do than someone might think though. I've told you before that I wish you would see someone about this because it obviously bothers you a lot, and we just don't have the ability here to give you all of the help that you need and deserve. Therapy is to help peole deal with difficult times in their life as well as mental health issues. We'll always be here for you on this site, no matter what.

Here's another site with information about PTSD. <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.giftfromwithin.org/>http://www.giftfromwithin.org/</A> You can look there and see if any of it helps you.
