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.

Hi everyone,

I was diagnosed PTSD instantly by the psychologist provided to my by victim's funding. That was about 6 months ago. I signed up for the forum quite a while ago, but I have been too nervous about posting.

I don't feel like saying much other than that I probably have "complex PTSD."

I'm not a Christian, but the only therapists I've been provided focus on Christian values and ideas for the basis of their therapy.

I really don't want to talk more right now, but I hope that I can be welcomed into the group.

Hi Tachyon, welcome to the forum. Great achievement overcoming your fear to post and just jump in... well done. A positive step for yourself... regardless how small an achievement, it is a fear you just faced. Now you just have to keep doing that.

Welcome...

Welcome! Take as much time as you need to take the steps you need.

Overcoming the fear is hard but necessary and WORTH it, the end result is you learn to live again and experience things in the present.

Good Luck in your journey. Know that we are always here to listen and offer what insights we can.

Cindy
