Answer 1

Are you still in counseling? Sounds like you might need a therapist that you can talk to, not a pychiatrist that might want to drug you.

I don't know if the emotions coming and going are different in your case, but that is a fairly common occurance in teenagers and young adults. (I'm 32 and i still have moments of "ewww! i liked him";-)

It will get better if you keep working it out with people you can trust and talk to.

You have time to form serious relationships in the future, right now you might just need to focus on becoming a strong, self assured woman and not an eternal victim.

Things will get better. If you try and wait and try some more.

Answer 2

Well I am not an expert but have you gone to groups that talk about PTSD? I think you will feel a lot better if you talk to people that are in your situation. Don't blame your self for how you feel and don't give up. You will over come your problems and everything will get better.

Answer 3

Sweetiepie: Spell the words because it is annoying. Ok, here is the thing. You are 16 it is NORMAL for you to like someome one week and not the next....maybe someone needs to tell you what normal is so you know that IS what you are...at least as far as this particular topic is concerned...

Answer 4
