Am i ok to be here.

[oops!]

In talks of PTSD results I can fit in.

I was very severely emotionaly abused.

No bruises.

No penetration.

I am only her because of the way I perceived a world and how it doesn't fit the script of the way others perceive it.

I can't show my scars. Is that offensive to those that can?
If so I will not come back.

I’d think most of us on the PTSD island don’t have scars to show for it. If we did we wouldn’t have a problem in the DSM v book we’d have a problem in the medical equivalent.

What makes you think you aren’t welcome?

That's why i ask.

You're welcome. Your experiences are legitimate, too.

Emotional abuse I think definitely constitutes being here. My ex severely emotionally abused me. Most of the time it was emotional abuse I mean it was constant towards the end it was all he did there was no “nice” times.

I felt very accepted by this community and I was nervous at first, because I’m a shy person with new people or even on the Internet but I really opened up here cause I just felt finally people who get it. And you don’t have to worry about people stigmatizing you or anything it’s a safe space for me and I’m sure a lot of other people.

Welcome!
