Anon OP
I have found lots of info about the sypmtoms, which i'm all too familiar with already. Not so much advice about how to manage it, or better still be rid of it. Anyone here have experience of overcoming this?

Yes,, me Dad had this from being bomded in the war,, it affected his mood's and general way he behaved in everday life and interactions with people,, Also from haveing a serious accident myself,, i had'nt realised how much it had affected me,, it work's at several levels,, it's important to know the cause if physical of emotional in the first instance though, are you finding a shortening of tolerance generaly and become far more sceptical about people and life for as an instance ? basicly i,m asking the first cause and how you feel in relation to thing's post the trauma and how you remembered yourself pre the trauma.. ( obviously i,m assuming your asking for you ) Please excuse crap spelling cause i,m rubbish | |||

Sorry to hear that you or someone close to you(?) is suffering in this way. If it were me I would be seeking professional counselling. This link does give some idea how to deal with the condition as well as talking about symptoms and feelings and what help might be available. The organisation works in England and Wales...sorry not sure where you are located. http://www.mind.org.uk/help/diagnoses_and_condit... Best Wishes Oh Yes....and the sun will set for YOU. | |||

www.bacp.co.uk You will be able to find a qualified therapist, in your area, via the link above. Professional help is the best way to deal with any mental health issue and obviously anything discussed is completely confidential. There are also many support groups working through these kinds of issues together, for both sufferers and their friends and family. Nobody has to face mental health challenges alone. Help is only ever an email or phonecall away. | |||

professionals are all well n good but firstly they don't fully know how to make it better.... took em long enough to diagnose it, if we leave it in thier hands it will take as long again to find the solutions patience and understanding is about your best option prevention is better still | |||

Nobody can make someone else better. Therapy is about facilitating an individual to manage their difficulties through their own efforts. That's the only route to any form of long-term clinical recovery based on thousands of peer-reviewed cases. It takes time and effort to effect real change, unless you choose to medicate, which many people resist for obvious reasons. There are no short cuts, whatever people might say. I don't know if you're the OP, but to suggest patience and understanding as a solution to this form of diagnosed trauma is naive. Tea and sympathy won't cut it. I wish the OP the best of luck, and would again urge them to use the link in my previous post to seek professional help. | |||

a large part of the population suffers from this, everyone thinks its a soldier thing and it isnt, any trauma sets it off, the soldiers one goes much deeper is all art, talking, peace, singing, dancing, normality... it's already known but folk feel stupid with it, fear it even strong family ties are helpful, if everyone knows the signs, then everyone looks for them find a passion the more distance you walk from it without it taking over, the harder it is for it to hold on go create something positive, its happening more and more now, theres plenty of folk with a story to tell that will inspire folks

Now I can only speak from personal experience and all I can say is that it fades with time. You have to work on not remembering certain things, they may be called flash backs but for me it is memories with strong emotions. You can get lost there for minutes at a time. Avoid it when you can. As for professional help, for me it's no since I know I would not be able to cope and at 51 there's not much point, but that's me. I would say be very careful with alcohol as your tolerance and attitude towards people are likely to be shot to hell. Try and go easy on yourself with some of the weird stuff, like I can't read newspapers now, just accept and don't over analyse the reasons. But as I say the worst does fade with time. |
