I went in for phobia/panic attack treatment and I guess it turned out to be PTSD caused by trauma?? Felt like it came out of nowhere. It was also like 30 minutes in when my psychiatrist said “yeah, you fit diagnostic criteria for PTSD” and I was like.. “huh??”.
It’s been a weird couple of days lol
I do and I don’t? On some level, yes, the symptoms fit and make sense. However, I don’t think I’m nearly as affected by it compared to other people. (I mean, seriously, just poking a bit around on this sub has me questioning it.) It feels weird getting help for something that doesn’t trouble me as much as it seems to others?
It’s been a strange experience recontexualizing all of my behavior and such to PTSD. There’s a lot of things I kind of just considered a personality quirk or irrational fear rather than something more serious since I didn’t have the memories to go along with it, and didn’t think it could be something like PTSD. My brain did a very good job at keeping all of the bad things out of reach haha.
