Do I have PTSD?



Dear Dr. Neimeyer,


I have a question please. I lost my sixteen year old son in an accident only fifteen months ago. I can hardly walk through this house of memories, so I stay isolated in one room. I do not want to be bothered. My mom lives here and has taken over for a bit. I have two other children (adopted niece & nephew) ages 14 and 11. I feel terrible I can't give them quality time; I just can't right now. I remember very little of the last three months but during the last two weeks I've been getting horrible flashbacks of the night my son died I know it's real, but it feels like a dream. My heart won't accept it. He was my son and best friend. I'm lost, broken, yet I cannot break down! Why? God and Jesus give me strength and are the only reason I'm still here. Why do I want to be isolated? Could it be PTSD? Sorry for so many questions.


Thank you & God bless!


Andrea
