Hi everyone,

I am not sure if I have PTSD....... My anxiety started when I was 18 (now 24yrs). I was walking home and I was sexually attacked and strangled by 3 men. They kept me prisoner for about 4 hours, I was convinced that I would not make it out alive.

Afterwards I was hospitalised for a few days but I did not think about the incident at all it was like it never happened. However I did develop an anxiety problem and had issues about being on my own and also I developed very low self esteem.

Recently the anxiety has come back on an even bigger scale and most of the time i feel like I can't breath. I try not to think about the incident as I feel like I am being silly, I am also frightened about what it would trigger in me.

I don't talk to anyone about it but I have been taking Zoloft.

Thanks,

Kate
