Could this be Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?!
Question: Could this be Post Traumatic Stress Disorder!?
6 Months ago my 3 year old nieces told me about sexual abuse happening to them at home, among other abuse (choking, beating them)!. There is a lot of evidence I'm not going into!.
I made a report, and kept the girls for 2 weeks, but then CPS made me return them because THEY didn't think the photographs AND the girls' testimony was enough for court (I had a friend in CPS who said it makes their numbers look better)!.
After I was forced to return them, I began sobbing and throwing up!. For a month after that I tried writing letters and making phone calls and trying to get help, but no one would!.
Then I went into deep depression and slept for days and would not get out of bed, and could not talk to anyone, could not look at their pictures, or their toys or clothes in my home (they stayed with me half the time)!. Now if I think about them I have a panic attack and sob and can't breath and my chest hurts!.
I feel like I can't function!. I have nightmares, I feel like I'm reliving everything!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

PTSD is any expereince that was traumanic in your life so what I'm seeing is that you were talking about your nieces and their abuse but thenat the end you said you were feeling that you were reliving everything so that makes me think that you were abused some time and now you haven;t dealt with it of course it would make you sick or have nightmare if you are remembering what happen to you my best advice is to find a counelos that goes off your income and go and discuss your nightmares!. When I started to remember my abuse I had nightmares like a movie but I was in it and I could see all and my mind was blocked but when I got safe it started to come outWww@Answer-Health@Com
