Hello all just wondered if anyone has had any experience of PTSD?
basically I had a lot of stress a couple of years ago- my wife got diagnosed with cancer, 6 year old had to have heart surgery and I got made redundant from a job I loved in the same year. This was 2 years ago. I didn't have any support and we all got through it.
I thought I got through it but now have started realising I have been very low, moody, withdrawn, uninterested,demotivated and more worryingly emotionally numb for quite a while. When I'm with certain people (work for Example) I can appear ok but inside I'm beating myself up.
This has now culminated with me behaving irrationally which has brought this all to the fore.
I'm booked in for counselling next week but am trying to get my head around it at the moment so just thought I'd share and hope someone may have experience or advice. Thanks.
