Depression, the one where you just feel empty, or feel lonely…I’d love to go back to that. I have PTSD. Every sound becomes a shock, every second of every day I am on edge, waiting for the next trigger. Can relax at all. God I wish my only problem was not being able to get a girlfriend (a luxury problem compared to my daily PTSD hell)

Hi. What kind of help have you been able to get for PTSD?
Thanks for replying. Absolutely zero help available. The psychiatrist though I was “too sensitive”, my family think I am too sensitive and the police (I get arrested regularly for reacting to my trigger points) will be coming for me soon.
“Too sensitive”? Wow. One thing I’ve learned: there are many mental health professionals who have no business being in the field. Is there another mental health provider you can try who may take your situation more, ummm, seriously? If your parents won’t listen, do you have any other close family friends or relatives who you trust that can help you? Especially one who your parents know and might listen to?
In my experience, psychiatrists often have very heavy workloads that can prevent them from giving very much attention to any individual patient. I’d suggest you look into another type of psychotherapist, maybe a cognitive-behavioral one.
The last thing I want to say is “I know how you feel,” but I went through a situation that was maybe similar to yours in SOME ways. It took a long time, it was incredibly rough, but eventually I did get better…now I pretty much am “just depressed.” Which is still bad enough, but a lot better than it used to be. These days at least I’m not likely to do anything that will get me arrested.
