Thank you for the info, garnet.
I had some abuse from my stepmother and father. But how severe does it have to be to create PTSD? I recall I used to cry almost every night because of some kind of bad event with my parents, and my relationship with my stepmother was always pretty dysfunctional and she treated me like I was an adult since I was 4-years-old. She'd stoop to my level and fight with me, and of course, she'd always win. Could that be the reason?
I haven't tried Prozac. I might give it a try, but in the meantime I'm going to give a try to a research program at Columbia Psychiatric Institute. I'm going next week and will see what they tell me.
Just a question: You said you "had" PTSD? You mean you got cured, or how can you not have it anymore? Since you didn't give Prozac enough time, did you try something else that worked?
I've felt this way for my entire life, about 30 years, and it doesn't seem like it's going to change after all this time. It impairs me socially, at work, in relationships, pretty much everywhere. It's like hell on earth. It's not worth living with a chronic problem like this.
Thanks again.
