Nervous...

This is going to be a hard post to really make...

I was on a forum about mental health, and was asking a question about flashbacks and what exactly they are....

Someone asked me why I was asking and I said I'm scared I may have PTSD 

so she basically told me to explain everything to her because she has PTSD and she could possibly tell me if I had the symptoms or not.

So I went into detail about everything I do, what happened to me and more.

She responded by saying that I have the symptoms for PTSD and I've been a mess since I read that....

I don't really want to accept the possibility that I have a disorder

...

she told me I should get treatment or help

but I'm scared bacuse what if I'm just being my typicaly hypochondriac self and exaggerating my symptoms?
Also therapy and treatment costs money and my parents alreayd basically said they don't have much money saved up for my college tuition.

I don't want to accept it, I'm scared of mentioning it to my parents.

I'm scared of being wrong or being right.

And I'm scared of spending money on mental health over my education....and I'm struggling.

I think you'l only know if you go for check ups just to be sure rather than too just guess and live in doubts. If you have it then there's no choice but to treat it before it get worse and affect your well being . Thou money is an issue but somehow your mental health is just as important as your education. Try find ways to help fund the money like maybe part time job or something at least you can help lessen your parents burden and go get your check up done .
