Definitely consider therapy but in the meantime look into Michele Rosenthal’s podcasts blogtalkradio.com/michelero...

She recovered from the PTSD symptoms

This is my favorite page. There’s a group on here you could follow a bit. Very nice ppl. I’m in that group as well.

For me after hospitalizations where I was abused and assaulted it was repeated visions of my time there which lasted about a year. I relived all the conversations and events that took place. Also as an emt, I had some traumatic events like suicide victims and I evvisioned the bodies at my own apartment for a bit. After a fiery car wreck, it was intense fear of driving which has improved over three years of continuous driving but still not on the highway. I wouldn't drive an hour to see my parents for a couple of years until my dad died. I knew it was coming but couldn't get myself to drive there. Therapy didn't help me, just time.

I've been in therapy for years. I did EMDR for some of the trauma and it worked.

I suffered for17 years with symptoms

Flash backs, hyper vigilence, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, high startle response, rumination...don't want to keep going and make this too long.

Anyway, get a professional diagnosis and seek treatment. That's my advice.,

Thank you all so much for your help and advice

I definitely recommend seeing a licensed counselor. It is possible to have situations in the past that bother you in the present without being ptsd. Then again, ptsd can come with depression and anxiety. Whatever the case know that you are not alone.
