Sufferer Hi, I Am New Here. Looks Like A Nice Place To Be.

[Laelynn]

Hi, I am new here. I have read a lot of posts and forums and this seems like a very nice place. I feel like I am floating alone in a life raft. Sometimes I just do not care if it sinks. But then I paddle and paddle hoping to see land. I have PTSD but mine would be more like CPTSD ..... I am afraid of everything every minute of the day. Everything that moves, every sound I hear. I look forward to reading from people who understand what I am going through, and from reading what supporters write so that I can see their perspective, which will help me see myself from their point of view. Everyone needs to be strong and be supportive!!!

@Laelynn Welcome to the forum! :)

Ahh...fear and hypervigilance, the exhausting duo of PTSD symptoms. This site has a lot of information and ideas for self-soothing, mindfulness, grounding, etc. that can help break this cycle. Are you currently in therapy? A good trauma therapist can really help you to get a handle on your healing.

I hope you find the information and support here helpful.

Thank you. I am currently not seeing a therapist. I guess that is why I feel adrift on my own in a life raft. I did find it helpful to go to therapy even though it meant I had to leave the house. I like your horse photo! Thank you for writing.

Hi @Laelynn

Welcome to the forum. Being heard and by other people who speak your language is really amazing. It's what touched me most.
