I Need help. Dealt with stressful things for long periods of time and unsure if I have ptsd or something else
I am trying to work to find out my mental health condition. I am trying to talk to specialists but my medical care is not going too fast and it’s not the best since I don’t work. I just need some guidance if someone has experience
I dealt with some specific health issues in December. I was put on a psychiatric hold due to what they said was anxiety but I was having heart rate issues and blood pressure. At the mental facility they put me on blood pressure medication cause mine was so high. Once I left the facility I was having lots of side effects from the medication and lost 10 pounds throughout that time.
Then in January I went back to the hospital because of how sick I was getting. And they placed me on another hold. Sent me to a worse psychiatric facility and at this place the nurses were very cruel and negligent. One nurse screamed at me that if it was up to her I would never leave there during a panic attack I was having. And the patients were all in deep psychosis. I thought I would die in there honestly. Go to bed and wake up with patients screaming every night.
Once I was out of there I would cry every day, I had nightmares and then I had to get off the blood pressure medication slowly because of the side effects. But getting off the medication was giving me heart issues as well and once I finally got off them my heart rate was constantly high for about two weeks.
Ever since all this happened I have been still crying most every day. My mind loops songs constantly in my head and never really turns off I only don’t notice it when I’m distracted. And my thoughts race to a crazy extent where I feel it is disorganized. I have felt extremely depressed and these are just constant feelings. There is a lot more but yes. the disorganized looping thoughts is just so constant i dont feel like myself
Sorry for all the text but I could just really use some help. If anyone has any guidance I would appreciate it.
