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 Hello from Ohio!
Hi. I am glad to have found this site!

I have Complex-PTSD and a dissociative disorder as a result of childhood sexual and emotional incest. I'm in my mid-40s, but I didn't start having memories surface until 8 years ago--that's when the PTSD reared its head and I was first diagnosed. The dissociative disorder wasn't apparent until a year or so later. Though at times it has seemed obvious I have DID, more recently it seems like DDNOS is more fitting. My alters rarely come out anymore, and I am taking that as a sign of progress and healing.

Anyway, I hope to find some support here, and to be able to offer the same as I am able.

Some other things about me: I'm wrapping up a degree in Environmental Geography, and I am looking forward to re-entering the working world next year (hopefully!). I'd like to find a job researching and managing invasive plant species. I have a son who is the light of my life, the most beautiful dog in the whole wide world, and a handsome-boy cat who walks all over me at 5 A.M. every day. I enjoy astrology, Xbox gaming (yes, females DO play Halo, too!!! ), nature photography, and dreaming about returning to the Grand Tetons...

Enough for now!

Best wishes for healing and wholeness to one and all--

TigerMystic

Thank you, everyone, for your warm welcomes!

I've liked what I have found so far while perusing the forums. It's so nice to read posts that I can totally relate to--it's comforting to know I'm not the only one experiencing this or feeling that. In my head--through logic--I KNOW I'm not "the only one," but my feeling world is often living on a whole different plane. That's what I find to be so hard and frustrating: that my mental and emotional bodies sometimes seem to be world's apart.

I look forward to sharing more, even as others here courageously share. Sometimes I feel like I have so much to share, but then I am very hesitant to write it out. It's scary sometimes seeing my innermost thoughts and feelings spelled out and visible in type. Fear of judgment and non-acceptance, I'm sure that is.

Anyway, thanks again, everyone!

Welcome TigerMystic
no, you are not the only one. That's also good for me to know, that I'm not the only one. The good thing about this forum is, that it's less threatening than face to face. And you don't get interrupted. And you don't get body-language, that could be read non-accepting.
So again, welcome, Harry
