Dear njadd,

Please know that you are not alone. I think that is one of the things that makes post traumatic stress disorder so painful is the illusion of loneliness. What can be more lonely than being trapped in your own memories. Know that you are not alone. You ARE NOT alone. I think so many people suffer from PTSD. James Gandolfini produced a wonderful (sad, very sad) documentory on HBO which tracks PTSD in soldiers from the Civil War to the present. It is haunting and shows that PTSD has effected so many people.

I do caution anyone who has PTSD that watching this documentary did trigger my PTSD.

The fact of the matter is that try to stay open minded for all of the treatments that you try. Keep moving towards healing. I never thought I would find something that would help me. I did and it changed my life. You will too it takes time.

I can see your frustration when I read your post. Honestly, your post could have been my post two years ago. Keep seeking help. I give you so much credit for being able to ask for help. This is a GIGANTIC step that is probably the most important thing,
