PTSD can actually be re-triggered by horrible new events. Please, all take care of yourself and if someone or something is causing you additional pain just distance yourself.

Really? What if you are married to them? LOL Not so funny but yet funny, although you are right.

I was assaulted and robbed, sexually assaulted , stabbed, and knocked unconcious at work on 1/26/12. unfortunately I was sexually assaulted as a child which I saw a therapist 30 years ago. This recent attack happened at work as I work as an investigator. I am having extreme headaches, nausea, dizzines, memory loss, confusion, agitation,mood changes and all they want to do is throw more mrauma.. I do not tolerate meds well. I also had busted jaw, torn ACL, torn minescus, I have seen a nuerologilist with no significant change in scans. I see a councelor specializing in trauma. Any advice would be well appreciated.

Dear Krissa,
You are simply amazing for sharing your story. I am deeply saddened that anyone would hurt you this way. I am glad that you are seeing someone whom specializes in trauma. Are you healing normally from your physical bruises? I hope and pray everything is healing accordingly.
As for healing mentally, this can take some time but you have taken a very important step towards this healing as well.
The fact that you can share what a selflish monster did to you is a sign that you are not going to let the traumatic event dictate the rest of your life. I am very proud of you!!!
Make sure that you are being kind to yourself okay?? Please continue in therapy and if you do not respond well to medications try very low dosages if you and your treater feel like you need them. I would also join a survivors group because the support one receives is winderful.
I apologize for the delay in responding. Life can be hectic...
Big Hug and Keep your head up!
Rox

Rox,
Thank you for your positive and kind reply. I am a pretty determined person but have my moments of weeknesses. The severe headaches from concussion keeps me in a dark room several days a week so company is good. I count my blessings but again desperately want my life back. I wish our society was not so full of devient and dysfunctional and sometimes just evil people. It causes a lot of pain with a ripple effect for victims such a children , grandchildren who need their grandma back to normal and loving husband who carries an extra weight. Life can change in a second. Thanks again for the connection. Not sure how this blog works yet but would welcome any positive contact with similar situations.

My PTSD is purposely triggered by my husband but this year I fought back. Hah!
