> What about if you basically raised yourself as Mother was sick the whole time and when you were in the house had she had temper tampers and threw things at me and blamed me for her illness. But then when I was a Mother I realized that the cortisone did it to her and not me so I knew it wasn't my fault? Does this count for something? Phillipa
This probably qualifies as being "developmental PTSD".

Neglect and lack of attachment is sometimes more influential than physical abuse in the evolution of mental illness. You had both.
How about looking into using prazosin 6 - 20 mg/day to address both anxiety and depression? You would have to start at 1.0 mg h.s. and titrate gradually from there so as to help prevent dizziness. One can take more at night. However, I divide my dosage of prazosin into 3 doses. It has a relatively short half-life. When taken this way depression and anxiety can be greatly reduced all day long.
