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.

Default Newbie- Delayed Onset PTSD
Hi Guys.
I am new to the forums, long time reader, just haven't signed up out of nervousness I guess. :D

Um, what to say...I have only recently been disgnosed with PTSD, about 6 months ago, finding the transition from being a normally strong person to a blubbering mess, a bit hard to deal with.

My PTSD is a result of a sexual assault that I repressed and has only just come to the surface now.

I am looking forward to getting to know you guys and swapping strategies on coping and having a laugh :)

Chat to you all soon

Mel

Take Care,

Hope

Welcome Mel,

This is a great place to be. I to have delayed onset PTSD. It's very hard to not beat yourself up for changes that are happening now because of something that happened long ago. It's especially difficult for others to understand why all of a sudden life is so hard for you.....but it does get better. It's hard work, but worth it. Welcome!
