I don't know why I'm posting this
Last week my therapist diagnosed me with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It explains a lot of my recent symptoms and why I always have panic attacks. I feel conflicted about it. I don't think my life has been horrible enough to warrant all of these flashback type bad thoughts (although it HAS been horrible) so I feel like I have an illness I shouldn't have when there are people suffering from it who REALLY have had it bad. I actually feel kind of guilty about it.
Some good news: according to my therapist my schizo-effective is now completely under control due to medication. This is the one illness I had that I could not stand because my impulse control is something that could get someone else hurt. I have no symptoms of it anymore and according to my therapist I haven't since she's known me and probably since I've been living on my own. I don't get angry mood swings anymore. I don't tend to get angry around people at all, as a matter of fact. If I ever get angry, it's when I'm alone. I don't know why that is.
I probably shouldn't have posted this. But I needed to get it out and if anyone has any advice that would be okay too.
