I have also spent time in psychiatric hospitals, so I know the shame you are talking about. Worse than the shame though is the sense that I am crazy, both because my thoughts and obsessions feel crazy at times and because it was confirmed by being hospitalised - sort of like getting the certificate.
I don't really have a diagnosis apart from depression and anxiety. I struggle to accept PTSD as a diagnosis because it feels like all the blame is being placed on the traumatic situation and doesn't explain the feelings of madness inside me. My therapist insists that it is all to do with poor attachment and csa, but there is a part of this thing, and I don't know what to call it, this madness thing, that I have colluded with and that is part of me. To get better I will need to change a part of me.
