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 Finding My Way
I deal with my stress with this in mind:

"there may not be many people out there to help me, the only person who seems to be able to help me, is me."

This is how far I have come:

1) Even though I still look behind myself while outside, I manage to walk places with little to no fear.

2) I am stuck in my mom's house until I can afford an apartment, but at least i am able to find ways to keep calm. Even when she yells, she isnt as violent since she doesnt drink and is on her computer demanding people get things for her.

3) I am far from being over being paranoid of what people think of me. Yet I am able to stay relaxed and deal with my fears

4) Even though the nighmares, anxiety attacks, flashbacks, depression and all my other issues cease not, I am able to find my way out of my problems if I can try to keep calm.
