I had a doctor''s appointment last Thursday and I found out that I'm also suffering from post stress traumatic disorder ( along with the depression ). It wasn't too much of a surprise as I have panic attacks when I see babies, young children or couple with kids. The attacks only last a couple of minuets, but they're somewhat scary. I feel short of breath, my heart starts pounding and I'm fairly shaky....
I never properly came to terms with the miscarriage.I repressed my feelings and denied what I went through and it's only now that I'm a) grieving and b) healing and growing from the negative circumstances.
Being on medication, going to support groups and seeing my counselor I believe are helping me but sometimes I feel that plain old time will play a major role in how I'm doing.
The downfall is I know it'll take a long time.
