I have make friend with an online friend on one of the dating site and have chat with him about three weeks, he is very caring and say he can support me etc. I am being cheated by him a lot of money as I trusted him and have transfer all my savings to him for an investment he told me. And I am now in debt. I suspect I have PTSD as I keep having flashbacks in my brain of his conversation with me. Anyone can help? I am not under any medication as I want to heal myself with my own will power rather than depend on medicine.

      I had made police report, he is scammer who go online catfishing victim and happen I reply to him on the dating sites. All his profiles & ID he had sent to me are all fake. All conversation he had with me all fake too. Blame myself being so gullible. sad He is a very good sweet talker that's why I am being drawn into his trap & trusted him. After this incidence, I can't forgive myself being so stupid & I am very shame & guilty of what I have done. And I have the flashback of his conversation keep coming to my brain now & then though have already been  8 months since March
