Hey Ya'll!!!

My name is, Lacey. I'm originally from Mobile Alabama. currently living in New Orleans Louisiana. I'm 24 yrs old. I was diagnosed with PTSD at the begining of this month (apr. 2008).
I'm in an unusually good mood at this moment.. I geuss i'll just come out and tell you straight to the point of my many traumatic events. Mine aren't as bad as most but they apparently are for me... I was molested by my aunt's husband from the time I was 9 til I was 12, Raped at 13 (lost virginity), abandoned by my father at 4, and my mother didn't take care of me from the time I was 12 to the present, i've pretty much raised my self. I made it this far and have managed to lead a self destructive path until recently, thanks to the pshych ward!
Also, along the way managed to take care of 2 girls of my own which I watch like a hawk! I have a wonderful man in my life whom I love dearly and he's stuck with me when no one else wanted to. He's my 3rd rock! (my girls are first!)
I feel like life is starting to look up for me these days. More than I could say a Year ago. I've constantly battled with flashbacks of the above as well as nightmares. I've always had panic attacks but have been experincing them more frequently lately.
I am slowly healing!!
Well hope to hear from ya'll and make some friends here.

Crazy in Louisiana,
Lacey
