Ive been diagnosed with PTSD and after 10 weeks on 20mg of fluoxetine,Im feeling alot better....
almost too good to be true Im thinking....
The reason for my meltdown last year was because of a series of traumatic events that triggered off some very painful memories in my childhood.
Now,even though the recent events are now 'sorted' ,I am just wondering...."How am I going to cope in future,if/when something happens?"
Am I going to go to pieces each time?
I know I shouldnt be concentrating on these 'what ifs' but they are inevitable....I should be happy that my meds are working,but I guess my mind is already rumbling with a little 'mind chatter'.....how do I shut it up!
I have my 1st cbt session tomorrow.....Im a little scared

The meds will help you in the meantime, the CBT sets you up for life :)
The skills you learn in that will enable you to cope fully if anything bad happens.
