Hello all
Recently I had an assessment for my mental health. I knew deep down I have ptsd because of everything that has happened not just since I lost my mum 7 years ago but with what I went through over my disabled daughter nearly 20 years ago
It’s a relief to know what has been holding me back for so long I’m going to get the help I need. Has anyone else gone through this

Hi @Steven . Yes, I have. I guess you are continually raking up memories from the past, chewing them over and over, then putting the thoughts away, until you dig them out again. I wasnt sleeping well, plus bad dreams themed on my memories.
The good news is that I fixed it using hypnotherapy (with a hypnotherapist) and reading an excellent book on anxiety. The therapy and book both explained how my brain had learnt bad habits, the habits were being managed by my subconcious. I sometimes have to go back to using the same techniques by self hypnotising myself. Its worked brilliantly for me, both for my ptsd , and getting through my wife’s death 18 months ago.
Good luck, there is a way out!

I might consider hypnotherapy as a way out. My head is so full of what my ex wife and her parents did to me my family and my disabled daughter. At the time it was so heartbreaking and emotional it literally nearly ripped my family apart. It’s something you never forget and my mum going nearly did the same and I know what it’s done. I’m ready to face it and find a way to heal my mental health
