Hey, my elder sister got diagnosed with PTSD! I live with my sister and mom in Toronto. We were brought up by our single mom. She is a victim of an abusive marriage and my sister had a bitter childhood too (I was too small then!).
After my mom got separated from our so-called dad, we were living pretty happy!
My sister was in a relationship for a year. Unfortunately, things didn't work out for her and a few months ago they got separated. It wasn't a mutual break up but was part of a fight! Yeah, my sister spotted that this guy was cheating on her! It was a shock for her, she became so gloomy ever since then! She has been to a psychiatrist in between to cure her mind. On her last visit, she realized that she has PTSD and got referred to a
nearby post-traumatic stress disorder treatment specialist. Treatment started right away and we strongly believe that she will come to her normal charming life ASAP.
The thing is, my mom is very depressed after realizing this! My sister is becoming more sad day by day! I'm the only responsible person to balance our family! I truly need to talk to people who might know what is likely to live with somebody suffering from PSTD and also how to help and motivate them further!
In anticipation of a reply.
Thanks!
