Look for a Psychiatrist, if you can afford one or can work out a way to have insurance pay for it. If not, try another Psychologist who will actually try to help you instead of throwing pills at you.
Many people suffer from what you're describing, and there are ways to make it better. It sounds like most of your trauma is related to a single incident, which makes it "easy" for a Psychiatrist to work with. At least you have a good idea what triggered the condition.
Don't want to be d**k but have to correct a little bit of misinformation.
-Psychiatrists (sp) are doctors and are the ones whom can prescribe drugs.
-Psychologists are not doctors and cannot prescribe drugs, they are the ones that prefer to talk it out.
With that being said:
I had a problem with depression for a few years of my life and it still comes and gets me every now than then. Initially I saw a psychiatrist whom really only pushed pills, this made me better for a little while but I suffered side effects from both the prescriptions (paxil, and then prozac). After a few years I finally realized this wasn't going much of anywhere and saw a counselor (whom was also a social worker). I got more out of my sessions with him than I did out of years of the drugs with the shrink. This might be a good place to start, it's good not to use drugs if you don't have to, IMO.
