Post-traumatic stress disorder
Posted: 07-20-05 23:12pm

Hi I am 20yrs old and was diagnosed with ptsd over 2 yrs ago due to a car accident. My life hasn't been the same since. I found that the best medicine that works for me is 50mg of zoloft. My biggest fear is the anyurism thing. But recently some people told me about a friend they knew who got bit by a black widow spider, and how it can kill you so now that is my biggest fear this week. I constantly worry about dying and hope that if it happens it happens in my sleep. I have terrible panic attacks and have had them as much as 6 hours straight. The first time I had one I went to the er because I thought my throat was going to close up and thats when I found out about all the sypmtoms. My anxiety has been real bad the past couple of days but just reading some of your experinces on here help me a whole lot. Keep them coming.
