PTSD, Panic attacks
I was on medication (attached prescription ) for 15 days. That time doctor said that I was developing symptoms of PTSD. My partner's family misbehaved with me-especially his mother,my partner lied about his family and made some false promises. just a day before my wedding it all happened and it has created a lot of trust issues between me and my husband. It was a one sided intercaste marriage. After marriage I don't have any connection with his family. But my husband speaks to his mother, which I have also not stopped him from. But I will never forget and forgive. What I have gone through is I can't express in words here. Since then I had panic attacks, anxiety, unknown fear, my body shakes and at times I couldn't sleep whole night. Whenever somebody talks about marriage, family or trust I get triggered. I get flashbacks and couldn't control my emotions.Is it a chronic PTSD? That incident happened in Nov 2022. Do I need medication? What is the solution for this?

Hello,
What you went through before your wedding was deeply traumatic- betrayal, shock, and emotional harm from your partner’s family. Your body and mind are still reacting to that trauma, which is why you feel panic attacks, fear, shaking, sleeplessness, and strong emotional triggers whenever marriage or trust is mentioned. These are genuine post-traumatic symptoms, not weakness.
It’s understandable that trust issues developed, and it doesn’t mean you haven’t tried. You’ve been carrying this pain alone for too long.
Next Steps
1. Please consult a psychiatrist again—your symptoms lasting since 2022 suggest PTSD or trauma-related anxiety, both of which are treatable.
2. Trauma-focused therapy (like CBT) can help reduce flashbacks and triggers.
3. Medication may be needed temporarily if panic, insomnia, or anxiety are severe.
4. Couples counselling can help rebuild trust and communication with your husband, if you feel safe doing so.
Health Tips
- Practice grounding techniques during triggers: slow breathing, naming objects around you, touching a cold surface.
- Keep a sleep routine to reduce night-time anxiety.
- Avoid discussing painful topics when you’re already stressed; set boundaries with people who bring them up.
- Write down your emotions instead of holding them inside this reduces their intensity.

Medication can help reduce panic, overthinking, and sleep problems, while therapy helps the trauma lose its emotional power.

What you went through before your wedding was very stressful, and your mind is still reacting to that hurt. That’s why topics like marriage or trust trigger panic, fear, shaking, and flashbacks. These symptoms are treatable with counselling and, if needed, short-term medicines. You don’t have to handle this alone.
Please Consult psychiatrist

Hi
It is like you went through left a deep emotional wound. Because the betrayal and stress were so intense, your mind and body still react as if it’s happening that’s why you get panic, sleeplessness, and shaking. Since it’s been a few years and these reactions haven’t faded, it could be chronic PTSD, which means your trauma hasn’t fully healed yet.
Medicines can help calm your body, but they don’t erase the memory. The real recovery happens through therapy, where you slowly work through what happened and teach your brain that it’s over and you’re safe now. With time and the right support, you can feel normal and peaceful again.
Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

It seems you have been through a very distressing experience, and your symptoms — panic attacks, anxiety, flashbacks, sleep disturbance, and emotional triggers — do suggest ongoing post-traumatic stress symptoms. Since it has been persisting for over a year, it may indicate chronic PTSD. The best approach includes a combination of psychotherapy (especially trauma-focused CBT or EMDR) and medication under the supervision of psychiatrist. Please consult a psychiatrist for proper evaluation and treatment, and a clinical psychologist for therapy. With the right help, recovery is very much possible.
