Hi Adam,

PTSD can be pretty easy to treat.  A stress consultant would have in depth conversations with your girlfriend to ascertain how the problems arose, teach relaxation methods and within about six sessions, should be able to move on to treating PTSD.  In simple terms, trauma is caused by the emotions attached to an event.  Depression is the result of dominant personalities or grief that has been unexpressed.  Psychosis tends to run in families and needs expert help.  Of course, every case is different as to how problems arose.

Your own anxiety could also be helped considerably by learning relaxation techniques.  It could be as simple as learning to breathe fully (as opposed to shallow breathing) or taking up an exercise routine such as yoga or Qi Gong.  It’s worth thinking about.

Rejection is always tough to take.  We’ve all been there.  It doesn’t matter what her reasoning is, it still hurts.  You sound as if you are looking for a logical explanation and there perhaps isn’t one.  Accepting the situation as it is might bring you peace of mind.  I hope so.  Best Wishes.
