Hi Bella,

Welcome to the forum. Bella, that must have been the worst thing for you, being it a friend and all. I am sorry to hear about your incident. Will you be normal again? Chances are... not really, but you can get pretty close to it. You will never be the same now, as before your trauma. Your traumatic experience is now part of you, and can't be forgotten, even though we would all like too, it can't be dismissed, as it simply becomes more controlling over us the more we attempt to suppress it, and the trauma must be faced, being the only way to get past it and move onto dealing with other symptoms. Regardless what the act is that we encounter to get PTSD, the symptoms are all the same, the feelings the same, with obvious slight variances between each and then possible other issues that come with each type of incident.

Its ok though, and as said above, just be honest with yourself, and you will certainly get the same here. We are here to help you, listen to you, and just support you, helping you recover from your trauma.

Glad to have you hear...
