There is a lot of literature online about the symptoms of PTSD but really the best way to know is to talk to a trained therapist or psychiatrist because it is a complex diagnosis.

((((((chasinglove18))))))

gimmieice is correct, a lot depends on your history and the symptoms your experiencing. I can see you have some real personal struggles. I truely hope that you are seeking the help of a good therapist that can help you on a path of gaining personal strength and growth.

Welcome to PC, I hope you will continue coming for support, there are many nice supportive people here. However, none of us are really qualified therapists that can diagnose you. That you must truely see a specialist for. If you get to the bottom of your personal issues, there are others here that can share their personal journey and ways of finding strength and inner peace. Your truely not alone, your not a bad person or a failure, you can become a stronger healthier person. But you DO need help, we cannot do it on our own, we all have to learn and find the right path to healing.
