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 Diagnosed with Chronic PTSD
Hello everyone,

I was looking on the internet information about PTSD, and found this forum. I've just recently been diagnosed with Chronic PTSD. A lot has happened in my life, but my counselor seems to think I've had this most of my life, and now is just beginning to get worse. I'm hoping to find some good information, and maybe when I need to talk to someone will be able to on this forum. Pray for me. Thanks..

Yes Fairlena,
There is an abundance of helpful people here at the site, and the best part of all, is the knowledge that we no longer are alone, and the only ones that went through our nightmares...there are many.

Hi fairlina,
It's nice to meet you.
Welcome! I am also new.
I have not been diagnosed, but I from
reading information on what you have, I do believe
I have the same thing.

I had a pretty traumatic childhood, beginning at age 2 or 3.
Like you, I was able to hold down all or most of the severity of these symptoms..until fairly recently.

All of a sudden, they kind of took me over..and I found myself
in unfamiliar grounds..trying to find someone out there who can understand.

Hopefully, this is the place.
I'm sorry for your hardship, and I will pray for your highest good.

:)
Taraj
