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.

The quote is from a different thread but quite pertinent, especially due to posts of late and comments from Jim in relation to Evie leaving the forum.

It serves as a timely reminder that the forum is a tool to assist you in your healing and should not become an ongoing way of life. The forum is good and contains valuable information. Its purpose is to share information for the benefit of all to assist with healing and but it is NOT to become an essential part of a person's long term day to day life.

I actually came to this conclusion in the last week. I realized i need to stop isolating myself ( I have the company of 12 year olds all the time) and I was using the forum to get me through but I NEEDED more than this in my life. Reaching out is hard. I need more people...I just need to make better choices in choosing them. In not having people...it is hard to be alone especially when another crisis arises and I have leaned that life is all about learning and how you frame your thoughts and choose your actions. I am not there yet....and that is my next big life choice.....getting back to life and accepting the cards i have been dealt with. I will continue to use the forum but really......I have had so many changes in my life my healing has halted and I just need things to calm down for a while first.

How true. It is wonderful that this forum exists, as one can learn a vast amount. It is reassuring to see that one's experience is not so unique, but others are going through a similar trial, or have gone through it. But eventually, I hope that I will not need this place as I do now.
