How can I get over my posttraumatic stress disorder without my parents knowing about it?
I've had posttraumatic stress disorder for years without my parents ever finding out. I want to overcome it, but it’s so vivid, it’s like it’s happening again. I'm scared and paranoid. I have depression, which I have been struggling with since a young age.
Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a very complex issue. It is the root cause of many other issues including depression, anxiety and anger to name a few. Re-experiencing the event is a telltale symptom of PTSD. One of the best things you can do for yourself is to find someone who specializes in this area to help you work through the symptoms associated with this disorder as well as directly addressing the event/events that initially caused the symptoms. There are various treatment methods available to helping professionals that are successful in treating this disorder. In the meantime there is a book called "The Body Keeps the Score", it is informative and may be helpful for you on your journey. It is my hope that you are not dealing with this alone. Best wishes!
