Hi everyone
I don't even know if i have ptsd .... am ringing for a doctors appointment in the morning (monday) to discuss it
basically ... i was abused by my ex husband. I met him in the september, got pregnant the following january, baby born that october and was separated the following may .... so really it was a fast and furious relationship - this was 4 yrs ago (well, 5 from beginning of relationship - abuse started almost immediately)
i escaped when my son was 6 months old - best thing i ever did... however, recently (or maybe all along and only recently i'm acknowledging it?) ... i've been having VIVID flashbacks of what he did and said ... i could be driving along, watching telly - not even thinking consciously of it and BANG .. there it is - no warning, no nothing
I even cry for really no reason
Thats not normal behaviour is it? ... dont even know if it is ptsd or not ... i am just so confused so signed up here to see if anyone could help ...
(am so sorry for the essay - got a bit carried away!!) well done for getting this far!!
