I have been having an off day for the past few days and everything I say or do never seems to be right. I am new to his community and was just diagnosed with prolonged PTSD 2 months ago. I am seeing a therapist and am on Celexa as well. I feel as though the past few days haven't been going right for me and I have been arguing with my boyfriend about stupid issues. CAn somebody help me??

Kaismom2005,

Its importanat to remember, difficult as it is, that what you are describing is normal for what you've been through. This too shall pass. Some days will be better than others. I always found a good strategy for implementing better days was to not get really upset about the bad ones when they came along. There is a lot to be said for acceptance. Once you accpet that what you've been through is going to have an effect on you, that effect often varying day by day, the less afraid you'll be of the process. Eventually as you continue to stay on and chip away at it, you will have more better days than worse ones. But this takes time. And while time does not really heal. One thing it does do is give a lens through which to percieve your fears as they really are.

How do i make it through today? I have this heaviness in my chest from anxiety and I'm afraid b/c her dad and i got into anargument last night before he left that he is going to leave me. He has said that he is fed up with me and my attitude and I have told him that I have been diagnosed with PTSD pronlonged and he tells me that has nothing to do with the way I am and blames me for things. I am truly and honestly scared that he will leave me and that is one thing I dont think I will be able to handle at this point if he does. I know what PTSD can do to a person but it's becoming hard to trust him when he wants to be there o ne miute for me bu tthan the next tells me things are my fault and that he is fed up with me and hates me. How do I deal?
