No, just a lot of trauma growing up, spread over a long period of time. Other mental illnesses going untreated, bullying, dealing with involuntary treatment, being kicked out of home and so on. It's more-so what they'd called Complex PTSD... which unfortunately isn't in the diagnostic manual yet. However, I have had severe social anxiety, flashbacks, mood disturbances, identity issues, anxiety, depression, moments of being triggered by events similar to my past and freaking the hell out and getting violent, and on and on. So for all intents and purposes even my nurse practitioner thinks it looks like PTSD. I just happen to have other disorders along with it.
