I’m 13 and Have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Many Other Thing. Help?
Question by : I’m 13 and have post traumatic stress disorder and many other thing. help?
I suffer from post traumatic stress disorder, It all started when, I was 7 when and I was always a little insecure when I wasn’t around my mum, I have severe paranoia even before everything happened to me, I was very un trusting, I only trusted my mum, and she was the only person I could talk to. from about 5 or 6 I used to get very anxious when my mum went out anywhere, but I could cope with it, but sometimes I didn’t want her to go, and so when I used to chase after her, my dad just restrained me kicking and screaming and I had to wait it out, crying. But one day when I was 7, I just got to school, I couldn’t cope with it, I was ignored at school, I wasn’t good at anything except running but one other girl was good at that and beat me In one race and that was it, I felt I was worthless, and I didn’t want my mum to go,
So i held onto her car keys and refused to go, before I knew it the only teacher I ever trusted and the 2nd person I ever trusted, restrained me, pinned me to the floor whilst my mum ran she didn’t even look back. They then shut me in a room for the rest of the day, all alone, with only a ticking clock, I wanted to run but I was stuck with fear, what could I do? where could I go? The only person I trusted betrayed me. Then I was screaming call my mum get her to come. They then came in later and told me they had rung her, and she said she would come normal time. It turned out my mum said that they never rang her, they lied to me, Who could I trust?
I then had severe separation anxiety, couldn’t be in a different room from her, had walkie talkies in the house so i could talk to her all the time, I was an insomniac, I didn’t sleep for about days then I would sleep and hour then stay up another 3 days. My parents waited a year for me to try and get over it, but i didn’t I got home schooled, and I had to go to the hospital a lot for tests, I fainted about twice a month for a year, because of stress, I was extremely suicidal, I tried jumping out of windows, jumping in front of cars, but i always got saved unfortunately, My mum then got depression, and my dad and her split up. Then I went to my new school, and this time 3 people pinned me against a wall whilst my mum ran again. That was it, I couldn’t cope. I had another break down.
4 years later, I’m a lot better but everything was fine until about 5 months ago when I started getting night mares again, and apparently I need help for my post traumatic stress disorder, It’s come back to haunt me, there isn’t a day in the year, where I can escape this lonely world of not knowing who I can trust. Just wondering, What I could, to be less depressed, I feel I’m on the edge again, There is no way I’m going back to how I was, I would rather die.
I’ve already been diagnosed with PTSD aswell as possible bipolar, but as I have been stable recently, They have decided I don’t need help anymore.

It is extremely rare for someone your age to have post traumatic stress syndrome. It almost always related to an event in which death was imminent. Talk with your school psychologist, he/she will be able to get you the help that you need.
