Why I’m Here

I joined Think because I suffer from PTSD. My father's suicide in 2006 made my life unbearable.  From September 2006 till January 2009, I was never properly diagnosed which screwed everything in my life up. I was told I had complex grief, major depression, depression nos, bipolar disorder, alcohol abuse (which is common in PTSD victims). But not until January 2009, after 2 months in rehab, thousands and thousands of hours in therapy, I was officially diagnosed as having PTSD, which explains my actions and behavior during this time period. I want to get my message out about PTSD- it goes undiagnosed and people's lives get destroyed.
