Glad to have found this forum. Have been diagnosed with ptsd due to childhood sexual abuse and later in adult life having a violent attempt on my life by an ex spouse.......
After about two years of counseling, 8 years ago still doing ok but feel the need to reach out with others and just chat.
58 years old and this stuff stays with you forever in some way or another. Never ceases to amaze me how it affects a person throughout their lives. I have for the most part found peace with myself and my abusers, but still hard sometimes....
Again, glad to be here and happy to contribute when I can.
Hi there! I'm glad that you reached out. It can be very hard to do. I agree that we will deal with these issues one way or another for our whole lives. But I am learning more and more the older I get. So that is good. Right now I am in a tough spot (I had been doing well but Corona shit has set me back) but I know, at least logically, that things will turn around again.
Anyway, welcome to the group here. I am new as well.💚
HiWell done for finding a safe place to further your understanding and healing. I am in EMDR after trying lots of therapies and finding it incredibly helpful. Take care 🌼

A Psychiatrist who spent all of 15 minutes told me in a dismissive way I do not have PTSD
I don't know how to get back to normal me.
