This is my first post and I really don’t know how or where to start. Any suggestions would help.
I have depression and ptsd. December was a very lonely time for me. No family left and I just moved to a new city and I’m having a hard time finding my place. I have two dogs that give me great joy. Thanks for reading.

adult son with PTSD
My son is 28 and suffered sexual abuse at the age of 4, at the hands of his cousin who was 13 at the time. I didn’t find out about it until my son was 13. By then I was a single parent. I didn’t know what to do. Now, because I didn’t do the right thing then apparently, I am being blamed for my son -

I should be happy right now but I'm not
So I've struggled with major depressive disorder since 17 now I'm 28 yrs old. I've finally achieved getting my first apartment on my own. But in reality I'm a mess between my depression and my PTSD over flashbacks. I was previously married for 8 years to my ex husband. I cant stop going back to when

Not sure how this works but am finding the holidays extra hard.
Trying to stay even in my moods but I'm not looking forward to seeing my parents over the holidays. It's very hard to be around them since I realize I suffer from complex ptsd.

Car Accident #2
I was rear-ended about 2 years ago. Not too bad but I'm still dealing with a torn meniscus and it aggravated my arthritis. I have to give a deposition...which I will chat about that later. But about 6 months ago I was rear-ended AGAIN near the same highway but this time it totaled my car. I have PTSD

Asking for words of support please
Hi, next week I have a VA eval for PTSD/ Depression increase. I know it’s God’s will whatever the decision, but it causes anxiety, esp. when the person evaluating has no idea of my daily battle with depression/ anxiety. Also, a lot of self blaming/ feeling ashamed. Thank you for listening. Hope you

I have now been told that I have PTSD! Why?
I have had anxiety and depression since I had a breakdown 16 year's ago when a woman I thought was a friend, stabbed me in the back ( not literally!) because she wanted to be me ! Goodness knows why ! Long story! I fought hard with the help of an OT and I would not be here but for him and people here

I had a craniotomy 2014. Acquired TBI. My husband is a veteran. He too has ptsd but there is no way he will admit it. I have ptsd too. The horrible world situation is too much for me.
