[QUOTE="klmno, post: 374719, member: 3699"] I can see how that can be the case, Janet. But in my case there were some clear PTSD signs that were identified and treated/worked thru by my therapist in the military. They completely went away until two years ago after testifying about family stuff and a few other things happened around the same time. Anxiety for me is something that has a web and flow but doesn't get real extreme if I can use techniques I learned. The nurse I spoke to yesterday agreed that this would be a return of PTSD and it probably was easily identifiable to me because they were there, then gone for over 20 years, then slap me in the face again after clear triggers. And I just don't have the patience to go thru session after session waiting for a young, inexperienced SW to figure it all out. Plus, I felt like she was blowing it off like I was just being neurotic when I felt like my top was about to blow and I really needed someone to talk to about this stuff. When this kind of stuff is going on saying "don't think about it" tells me she just doesn't get ptsd at all. Or at least she needs to find a better way to treat it because that answer won't be very effective, I'm afraid. On to other topics....I had my job interview. I think the man defnitely has a difficult child. LOL! He talks almost non-stop, mentioned he was divorced, has a 16yo who has "some issues", was hopspitalized briefly at the end of next week so he had to get there to visit her and now she is hom and as "settled" as can be. He also said he's on the stress diet and has probably lost 15 lbs in the past week due to stress alone. Sounds like difficult child-dom to me. I told him not to worry, I completely understand and would be willing to help with whatever I could. He is swamped with paperwork at his office now and the one young lady he has helping him can't get it all done so I would be there to help them. He brought her and said in part, he wanted to make sure we could work together. She seems nice enough but she might have taken me as being a little uptight or too serious. She seems like she likes to joke around and I do too, normally, but not today. Anyway, I might have a good shot if she doesn't convince him that I'm not chipper enough. (it's amazing how much it helps to be able to say "yes, I can work flexible hours, I can work overtime", etc.) He is supposed to contact me tomorrow evening to let me know if he's made a decision or if he needs to think about it some more. And something is wrong with my AC- heat pump. I came home yesterday and it was hot in the house. The thermostat said 78 but the AC was running so I didn't think much about it. Then when I came home about 20 mins ago, it was 80 in here.
