ptsd
Hi everyone! I was adopted after being abused by my stepdad. I never really had any kind of counseling or help on getting through everyday life situations. After having 3 children ages 1,5,&9 I am finding out I have symptoms of ptsd. I have always been afraid of the dark and experiencing anxiety, depression, and the worst of all I don't hug my children often. That makes me sad I love them and want to hug them but it feels awkward at times. I have the same problem with my husband. I ache to show affection. I also like to stay at home not very sociable with people until I can feel comfortable around them. I don't know a whole lot about this disorder but what I have read from these post I feel the same as some of you do. I would like to get help but I was put on paxil for depression and I felt great for a while then after a couple of months I felt worse than I did before. I'm finding ways to deal with it I still have very bad days and some times nights I have developed insomniac from this. I'm open for advice. I wish everyone lots of luck.
