PTSD and other amenities

Post Reply New Topic

I'm 26 years old and have PTSD (or more likely C-PTSD, but I still have no confirmation) since I was 11 (even if I suppose it developed from a previous situation).
Year after year, I have become increasingly more obsessive and paranoid, making my daily life very difficult; even compose this post (same as mail, e-mails, telephone messages and so on) was difficoult. I'm not able to concentrate anymore and many jobs have become out of my range. From that day of 1997 I feel like part of my mind has been turned down, it's like dead. It's driving me insane!
Despite several requests for opinions to various psychiatrists, after 15 years I'm still in the same conditions, and all I have discovered untill now, is due to my own efforts (included A.S., later confirmed by a Chief of Psychiatry).

Is anyone in similar condition? Did some specific treatment exists? I'm losing any hope

Sorry for my poor English, it's not my native language. I hope anyway that my post will result, at least, intelligible.

Thanks and Greetings to All.

I have PTSD as well, C-PTSD is certainly possible though but I haven't had either officially confirmed. Anyways I am not really sure of any really effective treatments, but there may be some. Anyways not being able to concentrate as well is one pretty obvious symptom, and one of the most frustrating in my opinion. I tend to get kind of self conscious about it because sometimes its even really hard to concentrate on the most simple task. I mean I really hate dealing with cashiers because I always take what feels like forever to me to decide what I want and order it or if I'm at a store its hard to focus on what I'm doing......so it takes me a while to get the right cash, change or whatever. Then of course there is the jumpiness which just makes it worse because then on top of that I can get startled and drop things and I get worried everyone's staring and wondering what the hell is wrong with me.

Anyways hopefully someone here has better advice on what to do about it, I am feeling pretty hopeless myself....which also happens to be a symptom from what I've read, so I guess it makes sense.
