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.

Default New - Anxious Yet Relieved
Hello,

I've always had sympathy for those with ptsd, and now have come to the realization that I have long had many of its symptoms due to several intense traumas; hit by a car at eight years old, was raped at fourteen, abandoned by my whole family (literally) at sixteen, was in a 6.9 earthquake and lost job because of it (at 19), was subject to violence by one boyfriend, last year (terrifying and damaging).

I used to have serious trouble keeping a job for more than a couple of months, but have gotten to where I can work without problems, but otherwise still have several symptoms...

Anyway, I feel relieved because now I understand why I've had these symptoms and now can start doing something about it. I'm glad to have found this forum.

Still feeling anxious though, frequently irritated and angry, have lots of trouble breathing correctly and also trusting anyone, and feel my future to be a big blank (but have solid goals).

Hoping someone will greet me here.....
