HELLO DREAMWIDTH YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE

OKAY SO I have a 20-minute appointment on the 29th with my GP. To discuss whether a PTSD diagnosis might be relevant for me.

Consequently I have promptly forgotten all of the reasons I think it might be relevant! Erm. Do you feel like crowdsourcing concrete examples of Me Doing An PTSD so that I don't have to think 'em up myself? Much obliged.

(Here is absolutely not the place to get into debates about the validity of self-diagnosis. Like, if you want to have this fight, I will win, but right now is not the time. Okay? Okay. Find me after.)

I don't have examples of you doing them, but usefulness of "official" diagnosis varies, depending on idiocy of practitioners involved in the situation. That said, I do have copies of the "circle the number" assessment sheets often used for it, and the statements listed might help with recall of things?

Yes please, thank you. (I suspect I am most appropriately labelled cPTSD ergo my GP isn't actually in the best position to diagnose, sigh, but.)
