Can the act of trying to fulfill your suicidal plan cause PTSD? Most of the time I just think about it. It's been 23 days. Today I noticed a big change. It's like for the first time the event seems real. I didn't notice this before. I kept going back and forth. For a day or so I would be so angry at the person who triggered & caused all of it. Then I would be blaming myself. Today it feels like I've been in a fog for the past 23 days and just woke up. So strange. And I feel so angry at that person!

I guess only a therapist can tell me if it's PTSD, but was just wondering if there're any stages to PTSD. I have a new therapist, appointment in 13 days, which seems awfully long time to wait. I can hardly wait!

I am not a professional, but I myself struggle with ptsd and I went through stages and went through a period were I suffered from strong suicidal impulses. Fortunately, I came across someone that told me to pay attention in that the impulse does go away. So I paid attention and discovered this individual was right. It's important you see a trauma specialist that has experience working with trauma patients.

With good therapy you can get past this stage and learn how to better manage your ptsd symptoms.

Good post. I'm sending hugs and positive thoughts. I hope the op will be ok.
