PTSD
My traumatic event was prolonged starting at the age of 5. It included events where my life was threatened, and emotional abuse. PTSD in my case has caused me to consciously not want to remember anything but the trauma from my childhood.  Even though it happened 12 years ago, I still can get trigged into a panic attack by things that remind me of the trauma. Living with PTSD has had a major effect on my life. I can be "cured" be reliving my trauma, and realizing that I can control it now.  I only was diagnosed with chronic PTSD in the past year, so I am no where near ready to " relive" my trauma, but I still am slowly taking small step into dealing and recovering with my disease.
