Yes, I've had it for years - I'm 72 now and have been affected by it my entire life. Mine revolved around abusive partents - both physical and emotional trauma. I've been in therapy for years - it was so wonderful to let it out and not keeping the SECRET. I'm good now -= but every once in awhile somethings is said or done that bring back that terrible feelings of doom and gloom and depression, the feeling like I really don't care at all about anything anymore. I know I take risks that I shouldn't take - but when things get that bad, I really don't care..

Good morning and welcome to Mayo Connect @1mountaingirl86. Do you live in the mountains? I love your name. I've also had PTSD for years and it is natural to put up defenses so that we can stop the pain. I think that's why we start to feel like we don't care. I'm curious - what do you mean that you take risks? You have my curiosity on high alert!
