Unsure

Is looking into the possibility of PTSD that has accumalated over events over the years looking for an excuse?

Are there benefits to looking into it?

  • Dear Unsure,

    It can be really helpful to seeking a diagnosis of PTSD, and I am really sorry that you have been struggling with past experiences. I don't believe looking for diagnosis is looking for an excuse. It is seeking help and support, which is a very brave and responsible decision.

    Hopefully some of our online community can share some of their experiences but I have also shared some links below that might be worth taking a look at:
    Post-traumatic stress disorder - this is some of NAS advice and guidance on PTSD. There are some helpful links to autistic people's lived experiences of PTSD

    PTSD UK -this is the UK's leading charity on PTSD and thought they may have some useful information for you to take a look at. 

    Seeking help with mental health - NAS guidance on how to go about seeking support for mental health problems.

    Please reach out if you need any further support.

    Wishing you well,

    Olivia Mod

    Thanks. I wonder if it may have helped mould the person I am, which is apparently wrong. I just dont know.
