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 Born With PTSD - Seems That Way!
I say born with PTSD because it feels that way! I was only diagnosed in 2005, but have had therapy (talk, EMDR, Biofeedback, etc, etc.) over the years. Abused/neglected as a child, time in a "hospital" at 11. Having been raised in the early 60's in S.F., hippy years a bit hazy, married the first man that could save me from myself. Two kids and 18 years later, decided that I was really unhappy playing Betty Crocker. I started a new life that ultimately failed (of course) and wound up alone (DUH!!) I seem to be real close to falling off that edge again, and decided to do something helpful this time. Thanks for being there.
