Welcome

This is a wonderful community. I'm sure you will find good support here.

It's pretty common for others to ask what you are going fir treatment and what coping skills are helping

If you feel comfortable sharing that would be great

welcome! I am also a part of the ptsd community here as well. I even use this site for some of my physical conditions. Without much info, I will only share my experience with trauma. I spent years doing CBT and switched last year to a PTSD counselor. My traumas were building up so big I felt no purpose and was feeling controlled by my prior life experiences. My counselor explained why ptsd is different than Anxiety or depression and she was able to explain some of my presumed irrational behavior. Many of us with ptsd find the need for safety as our top priority. This can mean different things to different people. Do you feel safe at a minimum? If you are willing to share more with the group or PM a member, you may get some great advice. Everyone here has the best intentions! Welcome! 😇
