Hi Turq. Ive healed from PTSD. I know how you feel. There is hope that you can heal too.

Are you seeing a therapist?

[Turq24 in reply to Sunnidayz1]

Hi Sunnidayz1,No i am not.No one thinks am sick they thinks i am just faking even when i told my boyfriend of 5 yrs he thought i am just faking.so we broke up.

PTSD is usually associated with veterans. And most people dont know what it is. People are not educated on it. And if he left you bc of this then he did you a favor bc it shows that he didnt really love you. If he loved you he would have taken the time to read up and learn and try to help.

Next! lol You dont need him. Life is a journey of truths and lessons and moving forward. You can do this, it just takes time.

Continue to use this site to express how u feel. We are here to help😊

As Sunny dayz said PTSD is real. Whether it is dreams, flashbacks, or other difficult moments, it does affect more than veterans. I would encourage you to continue to post here.

Also, have you been seeing a therapist? If you find yourself in an acute situation, you may be able to text 741741 or Focus on the Family 855-382-5433 for a one-time complimentary consultation with a licensed counselor and can direct you to a counselor in your area. Hope that helps.

I don't know what PTSD is like, but I have to imagine it is terrible. You're strong to post here and ask for help, so I have to believe you will overcome it. Will be thinking about you.
