I've posted in other forums about my struggles to get help. I finally managed to get through an intake and ended up with a definite diagnosis of PTSD, possibly GAD and depression NOS too.
I can't say I didn't kind of see this coming, but it's still a little surprising. The treatment is along the lines of what I want though so it's ok. Can't see a psychiatrist till February but at least it's progress. I have a standing offer to do therapy with her but I don't want to. Feeling a little shaky, it was hard. My mother went and held my hand. I feel like I need some time to come to terms with it though. Were you surprised at all when you got diagnosed? I guess I just didn't think it was that bad but she was very certain.

Hello ADeepSandbox: I'm glad you've been able to get your diagnosis. I hope it becomes the first step toward greater healing for you.
 The Skeezyks has never been offered a diagnosis by any of the mental health professionals I've seen over the years.  Under any circumstances it's too late for it to make any difference now. I send hugs with the hope that you will soon be able to find your way to deep peace within...

When I finally got diagnosed with PTSD I did not understand what that meant, I just thought it was deep grief and that it would take longer for me to regroup. I honestly did not have any idea what was ahead for me and how much I would have to learn to understand it.

When I was first diagnosed, I told the doc to piss off. Yeah, I was surprised and it took me a bit to come to terms.

Thank you all...I spent the weekend curled up in pajamas and didn't do a darn thing. It kind of hit me a little Saturday night and I was a bit freaked out, but it passed.
