Impatient
October 24th, 2010
I had a 'breakdown' in July and was diagosed with PTSD after sessions with a psychologist, I thought I was making good progress so the sessions stopped but I'm still on the rollercoaster three months later with some bad dips. My PTSD stems from being 11 to 22 years old and living with a violent step-father who destroyed most weeks, christmas's and every birthday, now being 36 and thinking it was all in the past the anger that it has invaded my life is immense. Am I being impatient for normality as most days are just painful?

im with you. sorry for your struggle. i got attacked while trying to save a woman from her husband while he was beating the hell out of her. i almost died, 2 brain surgeries etc... 4 months later, i'm dealing with this and it's driving me crazy. i'm your age too, i think life's issues can take this long sometimes but they all need to be dealt with
