| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  |

| |  Newbie Info - Raped 10 Years Ago
Hello to all...just wanted to introduce myself...I was diagnosed w/PTSD when I was 19 due to a rape in 1996. I had no idea what this was and that there was help or even that I needed help. Well, here I am 10years later and have realized there is help out there for me.
Its nice to have a place to go to and talk about the PTSD because this is not something I talk to anyone about. I have tried to talk about it with my dh but he doesnt understand. I seen there is a spouses section, which I hope will help us, just to have a place to share thoughts and feelings.
Anyway...hello to all...nice to be here |
