been diagnosed with PTSD. I'm so sorry to hear that.

Thanks @Woolie

Getting officially diagnosed with PTSD is almost impossible, ironically, but my symptoms have been recognised by multiple medical and mental health professionals on my notes. The DSM 5 criteria are very thorough. Can confirm, it really is that bad, so I do appreciate the point you were making, that the word trauma is being used with ever looser definitions.

I hope you are getting the treatment you need!

I have had some prolonged exposure therapy. Every bit as awful as it sounds. I am currently on a waiting list for help via Let's Talk.
