Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

[Guest]

I'm just wondering if the crazyness ever stops...

[Guest]

My therapist says that it will stop some day. I wonder myself if she is telling me the truth, or just trying to console me.
I am a 40 yr old woman who was raped at 17, in addition to being sexually abused by my brother for many years, and physically abused by my mother for many years. I have had several diagnoses over the years, including schizophrenia, but now they tell me I have PTSD w/ dissociative features. I feel hopeless and want to die. I can only talk to someone else this way, on the internet, not in person.
Anyway, NO, it's not just you -- I'm here for you if you need me.
Take good care.

Well,I think we can learn to control the craziness with the right therapists and friends.We are not crazy...the people who harmed us are the crazy ones.We have to pick up the pieces and get control of the rest of our lives.We were helpless as children but now can gain strength and control over our past demons.I dont think I will ever rid myself of my ghosts from the past but I sure as heck will not let them run my life anymore!!
