My girlfriend keeps saying she has PTSD from her last relationship is this possible?
The loss of a significant relationship can be one of life’s most difficult challenges. Divorce or separation, in particular, increases one’s risk of distressful psychological symptoms. According to some studies, it is also a potential risk factor for suicidal behavior. Trauma from a past relationship can actually make you hypercritical of your current partner’s behavior. If you frequently overreact to little things, it could be due to memories of your past trauma. Try to be more observant and reflective on your feelings and reactions towards your partner.
Survivors of abusive relationships can still experience PTSD or complex PTSD (CPTSD). The symptoms involved will just be slightly different. If you attempt to avoid or block out memories of the abusive relationship, struggle to remember details, or feel detached, you could have PTSD.
