My T diagnosed me with PTSD maybe a year ago. I am on a mild anti depressant and he has recently suggested I might need to take something for anxiety.
He said that it is a predictable/expected reaction to trauma and that living with an abusive alcoholic and the chaos that he created (AH) is a recipe for PTSD. I also grew up in a chaotic, alcoholic type home but there was no drinking (the behaviors however of my parents were classic alcoholic and I see D6 as myself as a kid and it's distressing).
Understandably, lately I have been having a much harder time but I find that it ebbs and flows and is worse some times than others.
