A couple of weeks ago I went through something very traumatic.I honestly believe if I didn't already have PTSD this would definitely cause it.
I don't want to say what happened.I just want to say that 'something' happened and I have been having an extremely hard time dealing with it. That's all I wanted to say.Not sure what I'm looking for by posting this. |

You’re welcome and thank you. I am doing better in terms of coping with it. What happened isn’t on my mind as much. I can sleep through the night most nights now without taking something to sleep. I’m still jumpy though. And certain events or things do trigger what happened. But I have coping better now.

I can empathize, because I've faced this from a friend at my church. He is a special forces veteran and had difficulty making friends. I opened up to him and became his friend. Yet he grabbed my wrist and it hurt the next two days. Then it happened he grabbed me by the throat and choked me. Later that night he threatened to kill me, telling me I know where you live. I immediately called my priest and put in a restraining order. I couldn't even sleep at night where I live after that attack. I was homeless with a home for a week until the protective order was issued.
I had to go to court and it was passed for two years. He can't go to my church If I am there, and I allowed him to have every other Sunday, every Saturday. While I have alt Sundays and every Wednesday. I was terrified seeing him across from me at court. I couldn't even look at him because the memory of that night will always be with me. My priest is going to find a Christian Counselor to help me out. So hang in there, don't know what happened to you. Wanted to share my trauma to let you know you are not alone. |
