| | 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. |  | |

Dear Hodge and Veiled!
This is so hard for me to hear that I am not understood again. I like to start writing diary, but I don't want the whole public to read it. Can I get into the private one (PTSD group only to read it?) yet?
Yes the rescue work was traumatizing me and the responses of my team, who continuesly stepped over my boundaries. |

hi Hodge and Veiled!
ok I understand more now. I will start writing my diary. I almost can't believe that you really want to hear my story. It has been so hard to do it all alone for so long. Just now I can't control my tears. It is hard for so long to deal with all of it.
I am still not sure yet about all the forum rules, but as soon as i am allowed you can find my diary (private) |

You don't have to write all your trauma out in detail right away, if it's too hard just take your time. No one will judge you for that. | Thank you!
It is so welcomed strange to be invited to write about the trauma, because I tried to tell people about it for years. I can't believe you and others really want to hear more, that's why I tried to keep it short.

Felicitas, as a carer and not a PTSD sufferer, I cannot begin to imagine how you are feeling, and I feel for you that you are finding it so hard to believe people want to hear your story. I would like to hear your story too when you are ready.
From what little I have seen of this forum and the hope it has filled my heart with, I expect that once you feel safe to share your story, you will get responses from other who understand just what you are going thru and you will be so glad you took that step.
Also, don't worry about the computer stuff, your posts are turning out just fine. You remind me of my mum like that, bless her, it's sweet. |

Hi Felicitas,
Just wanted to let you know that after reading more of your posts in other threads, I am getting a better idea of your traumas. I definitely recommend writing them out in a diary. It's helped me a lot.
Take care,
Hodge |

Oh, just wanted to add - sounds like the diary section you want is Trauma Members. That's where mine is. Those diaries can be read by all registered members here, but can't be found in search engines, so can't be read by the general public. |
