New Here
Hi, so I'm new to everything. I'm new to PTSD (recently diagnosed), I'm new to online support of any kind and I'm going through a lot of new changes in my life.
I recently got out of a 2 year abusive relationship and I'm still not the best at talking about it-even when I need to. I've lost most of my support system and I'm trying to go back to school and work to put myself through college. Honestly, things have been gradually getting extremely overwhelming. Lately, I've been feeling particularly alone and I'm not quite sure how to explain it to the people I have left in my life. I don't want this to consume my life but I also know that I can't keep pretending that I'm okay and that everything's under control.
I guess I just want to know that there are other people who have dealt with this successfully. I feel like I'm still in the early stages of coping and sorting things out and that is incredibly frustrating. Here goes nothing!
