Does one of your love ones suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Because of their du

I myself have Post-Tramatic Stress Disorder. It developed because of the abuse in my childhood and was made worse in 2001, when I was robbed at gunpoint. Mine is not as servere as one would get while fighting a war, nor is it as bad as a policeman's would be. My worst symptoms are that I have an exaggerated startle response and have terrible anxiety. My nerves are shot. Some of this may have even been inherited from my mother, but the life that I have lived, has only made it worse. I am not able to drive because of my anxiety. I am also not able to watch horror, violent, war, or police type shows and movies. Sometimes I joke that I am afraid of my own shadow. I take Paxil and Aterax for the anxiety and also to help me sleep.

My father has it from WW II, beack then it was called battle fatigue I think, or was it shell shock. He is now pushing 90 and has had emotional problems since i can remember. He receives a 100% disability from the VA and goes to see a psychiatrist but nothing has seem to help.

My dad suffered really bad post traumatic stress after he came home from Vietnam. My mom said there were times that she was actually afraid to sleep in the same bed with him for a while because he would swing and scream. He slept with his eyes open for quite a while too she said. I had really bad post traumatic stress after a really bad casr accident that almost killed me in the 90's. I couldn't ride in a car for like 3 months and I couln't get myself behind the wheel for almost a year.

I had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for many years because of abuse I suffered when I was little. I started B.E.S.T. (Bio-Energetic Synchronizing Technique) therapy and now I no longer have panic attacks and nightmares. I am able to live a normal life now and I am so greatful to my B.E.S.T. therapists!
