New Here
My name is Cheryl ,I'm a 37 years old from California. I have PTSD/ depression and anxiety. I come from a dysfunctional family and I have cut all ties with them. Which I don't regret. I'm not on any meds. I cope through focusing on my husband, kids, myself and making friends online. I'm looking forward to making friends with everyone on here. Have a great day,Cheryl

Keep fighting the good fight! I hope this site is helpful for you and that you find support here.
 
Hello welcome this website is amazing I feel so much less alone already. I hope you feel the same. its great you have other family and friends to focus on. Cutting ties with blood family is never going to be easy but it can be the making of you.
 
Welcome to the forum!

Got therapist? Mine understands that I don't want medication, and we keep it...

I have only been to a therapist one time. My doctor referred me it was a consultant type of thing to diagnose any mental health issues I had. She diagnosed me with having PTSD. I can't afford a therapist. I don't take any meds either. Have not needed any.

Cutting ties with blood family wasn't easy for me. Still isn't but I try to be positive about it by knowing it's whats best for me. It does help having my own family to focus on. It's what keeps me going!

Yeah I struggle with the therapy stuff. Soceity makes you feel like you need to pay a fancy therapist to fix you. I am not anti therapy and I have not ruled it out but any money I have right now I find I benifet more from body based therapys such as accupunture. I am not anti therapy but at the same time I am not sure whether to believe the universe will condem me to a life of trauma just because I am not able to fork out the cash for a so called "good" therapist.

Yeah I have been told therapy benefits the person and the person who needs therapy would need to find a really good therapist. I'm not anti therapist. I know that therapy does help if your able to find the right one for you. For me coming here is just as good as therapy. I also use a free therapy chat room called iprevail. They have helped me too. If I need someone to talk to right away.
