So I'm almost positive I have PTSD. I always thought it was from people in war or doctors, people that deal with situations like that. But I'm pretty sure I have it from the birth of my son and what happened to him.. Not really sure what to do. I don't want to see a therapist cause I already have enough things to worry about and get done with a baby, not counting all the million appointments he already has, I don't want to have to worry about my appointments too. I don't want to find time to go, and it's so hard to find one that works for you and I just don't want to go through the hassle. I don't have time to go through the hassle.
I honestly wouldn't have guessed it either. But I couldn't eat or sleep, and I cried all of the time. The doctor put me on meds for it
Any traumatizing experience can cause this. If you don't want to go to therapist therapist try smoking a joint.
@sawyersmom wow I didn't realise it was so wide ranged! I felt stupid for thinking I had it. I I thought you had to have been through war, or a wreck or something considered "more serious"I hope you know what I mean by that. Thanks ladies I feel better! It sucks but at least ik itll all be okay and get better
I got it from a fight I had with My dad. Not a physical fight, but emotionally damaged me. I was diagnosed with ptsd from it
It's surprisingly common after birth. People don't talk about it much, but it's really prevalent. I was diagnosed 6mo after delivery, I'm happy to talk to you about it if you want someone who's been there.
See that's understandable, I just feel kind of dumb or like it's not as important cause it was from birth and the hospital hurting my son. Not from anything like a car wreck or anything like that.. Has he had any treatment for it?
Lol believe me I would if I can. I've always been a smoker, it has helped me through sleeping disorder, anorexia, anxiety, depression. I bf and have done research and am comfortable smoking a joint (not around him) while bfing cause I don't eat enough like I would if I smoked but he is on blood thinners and marijuana can thin your blood more and I don't want it getting thinner than they want it. Once he's off I plan on it:) all these problems with his medical problems, nicu stay, money problems from missing work etc it's been very hard to do it all without one.
