Hi Kerri-Ann Thank you for your note. I must admit, I am a bit nervous, but we have to take risks on our journey through life. Yes, an animal lover I am; and yes, I do have a pet. I have a spoiled dog named Kisha. She is like my kid, and I spoil her to no end. She certainly is great comfort to me in tough times. I also just returned from a short trip to a state park. I like photography, and took many pictures.

I, at this time, live with my parents and brother. I am divorced, and not currently dating. My family does have a hard time understanding the experience of PTSD, but they are supportive if I need them to be. PTSD is just not talked about much. I have been seeing a therapist, Nancy, and now will be seeing another therapist for EMDR. So for a time, I will not be seeing Nancy. Only for periodic checks. I have read much on EMDR, and feel somewhat nervous about re-remembering the long experience. But will find out a lot more before going through with it from the therapist.

P.S. Looks like I posted my note in the wrong place. I clicked on "Reply" Was this correct? Or do I post somewhere else?

I am happy to have found this PTSD forum. It's nice to know that there are other people with an understanding of PTSD to talk to.

Thanks again!
