Sufferer No longer in denial

[NettieUnsteady]

Hello
My name is Nettie.
I am a 30 year old female from Florida, USA.
I have been recently diagnosed with PTSD and I can no longer deny my trauma & its affects on my life.
Hopefully just being in community where people understand can help me a little bit because I have been really struggling lately.

Anyways, thanks for reading. Maybe i'll see you around

A couple days ago. Somehow it feels longer. lol

 

[NettieUnsteady]

Lol! Nice. I have been exploring all of the forums so far.
Have you found any forums or articles that you liked or have found helpful so far?

 

[BuildingSelf24]
