Do these events qualify as traumatic?

Posted by Colleen D. on September 13, 2004, at 14:09:59

I think my problems stem from an inherited chemical imbalance, but I can't help but think that my life experience is plenty to blame too.
I had an unwanted violent sexual experience at age 16.
I lost my first baby half way through the pregnancy. She was stillborn at 20w1d due to an infection that resulted from my having amniocentesis.
I got PG 5 months later an gave birth to my special needs son who has a chromosome abnormality.
Does anyone here have PTSD or know something about it? I think I may have to add this one to my repertoire. No wonder I'm so messed up.
