No I would never have a laugh about this awful condition especially with the flashbacks nightmares etc
-I do not feel like laughing at all. The Clinical Psychologist diagnosed it. I just wanted to at least discuss this thought it might help me but in retrospect it was a mistake as its wound me up even more.
I don't want to push you away if you feel the need to talk but I do wonder if you would be get a better response on a support forum rather than a benefits one?
I think your benefits situation is too complex to be answered on here and it is actually getting in the way of what you really seem to want/need iyswim?0 -
I think you have misunderstood me or I did not express it well enough. I was taking bout the present situation. I was subjected to mainly emotional abuse but there was some physical - It was Domestic Violence. .. Like a fool I tolerated it. So yes there was domestic violence. Tee is lot of research which shows the links between DV and PTSD. It is the diagnosis I have been given I thought it was just severe depression I had no idea what it was until the diagnosis
From memory I thought you said there was no domestic violence. I dont doubt that there are links between domestic violence and PTSD, but as you said it was emotional abuse I could not see the connection.
Like others I think this thread should be moved or closed as it has gone beyond what this forum is for.0 -
Howw do yo close the forum anyhow?0
