Hello,
Well done for going to the assessment and being so honest with her - I'm really proud of you. It sounds like it took a lot for you to do it and I understand how hard it must have been.
It can be scary when you're given a diagnosis and you're not quite sure about what it means. As said above, it's nothing in itself to worry about. It simply means there's a lot of different events and traumas to cause it so it's not as simple as exploring one event that may have caused it. It can be recovered from, it may simply take a while to get through - but all PTSD can take time to move on from.
You're safe, the people who threatened you only did it because they knew something bad would happen to them if you told (i.e. they'd end up in jail) so they used it to stop you saying anything. They can't get you, and they won't know what you've spoken about.
