Has anyone suffered from P.T.S.D? What caused it?

Question:

If so, how did you get through it? How long did it take?

Answers:
I have had PTSD much of my adult life. It is caused by ether seeing or being involved in a Traumata event.
The causes vary from sexual assault to witnessing mass murder or in my case being involved in the military and the Vietnam War.

No mater what the doctors tell you there is no medical cure, they will give you diagnoses, and meds to treat their diagnoses and most only cover up the problem by making you sleep your life away. Remember Doctors in essence work for the drug companies and you are an end user of whatever drug they have been paid to go to the seminar of last.
Truth is that you have to learn about PTSD, and then pick a doctor that is able to help you cope with it. Doctors give drugs only. Physiologist talk about the problem, unfortunately you may need both.
However, the first thing you need is a diagnosis of PTSD. Not six different diagnoses but one-soled diagnoses and the best way is to take the Global Assessments of Function test. A score of 41 to 50 will establish your case for disability and in so doing allow you to get the treatment you will need for the rest of your life. Social Security Disability is available for those that need income while being treated. It is not enough to live on, but in most cases of PTSD, you are not working anyway and you are you cannot seem to hold down a full time job anyway.
If it is military related then with a diagnoses of PTSD and a proven stressor, from combat, you can get compensation from the Veterans Affairs.

Yes, I have and still do suffer from it. Some was caused by ho wmy father treated me when I was younger, but most was caused by abused from my ex.

I'm getting through it with therapy and its been a couple year battle. For some it never goes away.

I saw my drunk brother in law almost drown my neice if I didnt find him in the pool. He was trashed and I snapped all of a sudden my now sober alcoholic father and my now sober drugged out hubby just flooded my mind. I cought myself takin an hour to make my kids a sandwich and cryed all the time. I went a little crazy for a while but the dr put me on prozac and I saw a dr and talked about it it helped but I still think about it all the time/
