I keep having nightmares, flashbacks and re experiencing those body touches on me. I get panic attacks and cry when i have all these. Do I have PTSD? I am scared to tell my doctor fearing that he will say that i have hypochondraisis like my psychologist. What should I do? It is a torture going through everyday like this...

Am so so sorry you're experiencing such trauma, again.
If you have a pdoc tell him, also tell him you feel invalidated by psychologist.
Sounds like you need to find a different T. Someone who'll take you seriously.
Have you been prescribed any meds & do they help? You may need meds adjusted.

Please know I believe all you say. Don't give up!
With the right pdoc and T you can get some relief.
Won't be quick or easy, it's work, emotionally, but very worth it. There is hope!

Take care of yourself & keep posting.

My psychiatrist thinks that giving medication will not help me as the 'best' one did not work. So I have only tried one medication. Should i convince him to allow me to try other medications? He always sighs when I tell him things. Sometimes I feel as though i am talking to the wall because both of them only takes history and they don't say anything to comfort me or reassure me etc.

It may be time to find a new therapist. You could give the T another chance by telling them what you need, e.g., you'd like to try a new medication; you don't appreciate them sighing when you speak; tell them of your need for advice and feedback. If they cannot meet these needs then it is time to find a new therapist. You need a therapist who will work WITH you, who will hear your concerns and answer your questions.
