Trauma – PTSD

Question:

Hi Tami, I took me almost six years to graduate with my undergraduate degree and I suffered no repercusions.(in fact it worked in favor of my graduate degree). Your friends will still be your friends even if you aren’t in ths same location.  Do what you need to do now and all else will follow….. I wish you success….Peace, Jefff

Thanks Jeff!  Even though I will miss my college friends, I know they’ll be there when I return.  Tonight I even went out with my old high school friends and had a great time.  It made me realize that I have neglected them and not stayed in touch as I should since I went away to college.  Now I am home for the semester and they are nearby as well, so this will be a chance for me to renew those friendships as well.  So it all works out!  Take care. Tami

When I left for school last Fall, I promised her I would find a therapist there to talk to…but then I never did.  I  kept planning to go see her this entire summer since I have been home but kept putting it off.  It’s easy for me to put things like that off.  Anyway, my boyfriend had an appointment with another therapist at the same place and I went with him.  My therapist’s office was shut so I figured she was with someone.  When that person’s appointment was over, she came running out and hugged me.  She had someone else coming in so we only got to talk for a few minutes.  But I filled her in briefly on the past year of my life.  The excessive partying, the OCD and anxiety problems and the rape.  I made an appointment to see her for this Friday.  I am looking forward to it!  Just those 5 minutes I spent with her today helped me a lot. I decided to stay home this semester.  I told Di about it but don’t think I mentioned it to anyone else here.  I am just not in any condition to head back to school.  So I will be staying with my parents and taking a few classes at the local community college.  I even got my old job back as Assistant Editor of the campus newspaper ( I attended this college before going to a university.) Things are looking up! Much Love, Tami

WTG Tami! You are really getting around now.  Just being able to talk to someone who cares is a big help!  Please take care.

Things are looking up! Much Love, Tami Dear Tami, I can`t tell you how relieved I am that you are seeing your therapist again, that is great news!!! Don`t worry about school, you can always go back next semester. You sound like you are very comfortable in the decision you made and that is all that matters!! Take care {{{{{Tami}}}}} Jackie

Thank you Jackie.  You’re so sweet.  I am pretty comfortable with the decision….except tomorrow is the day I was supposed to head back to the university.  I haven’t told any of my friends that I won’t be returning and they all sent emails tonight saying "I can’t wait to see you!" and making plans for the weekend.  That makes me sad that I won’t be with them this semester and a few of them are graduating too.  They were all so supportive to me.  So it’s making me a little depressed.  I feel like I am taking a step back in life….but we gotta do what we gotta do, right? Hugs, Tami

Tami, I am happy for you.  The therapy will be good for you and especially with a familiar therapist.  I wish you the best of success. smiles, elise

Thanks Elise!  It does help that I have seen her before.  The bad thing about going to a new therapist is that you have to start ALL OVER and they ask you "when did your problems begin?"  "tell me about your childhood" for the first few visits.  Luckily my therapist already knows all that so we can start fresh.  Thank you for the support! Hugs, Tami
