Hello 3yrsPTSD. I've had PTSD since July of 2004. So a little over two years. There are several of us, like you, in about the same timeframe and still "young". I consider myself young! I'm so glad that you have come forward and posted. That is a tremendous step right there.

You know what I thought was funny? That you said that your trauma was a "bad experience". Uhhhh, if it gave you ptsd, then it was much more than just bad. For me, my "experience" would be horrifying, numbing, terrifying sh*t. We around here talk like it is and exactly how we feel. No sugar coating needed.

Again, welcome. Glad you're here....and YES, you're still YOUNG!
