Hi Everyone:

In an effort to try to find others who suffer from PTSD, I found
this group online. About six months ago, I was diagnosed with PTSD
which is caused from responding to the WTC (spent 3 months there)
and losing several people I know. During this same time, my
firefighter fiance became extremely abusive. I have just started to
grieve so my mind races often. It races because I have blocked out
so many memories and visions. I startle easily, especially when
someone comes up behind me. I have visions which my therapists has
helped me determine when the PTSD is kicking and I get claustophobic.

Take care,
Michelle
