| | 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. |  | |

I simone! Good to meet you! I hope you find peace and understanding here. Maybe in time, you can change your name? Because eventually, with healing, you won't be scared anymore.... |

Hi Simone, welcome to the forum...one big, happy family 
It's a place where you can let it all out...cry about it...and when it's all over and done with, have people say, "Yeah, I feel that too."
It's a place where we no longer feel weird, like we're crazy for what we're feeling...
Feel free to rant, rave, cry, cuss, yell, scream, laugh, smile and know we're all here for you! |

Hi simone, welcome.
Dealng is always good *nods* here is good because we all deal with ptsd, either directly (we have it) or indirectly (a close friend/ family member) has it.
So welcome, glad you found us. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
