Sufferer New diagnosed, scared

[stuckinthemiddle]

Hi, i think. Not sure how I ended up here but I have this feeling that I need someone that actually understands. I need to talk to someone. Someone who’s not close to me, or know me.
Im swedish, my english is a bit off.
A few months ago I told (for the first time) my doc about my past. They got worried and got me a therapist right away. She told me I have ptsd and trying to make understand this new chapter without secrets. Im seening her once a week and and i think its going ok. Its really hard, im aching and scared.
My trauma is trough many years, since i was a child. And many of memorys and ect has been buriee in something deep in me. And know that im for once are talking about it i feel like a glass about to break. Im afraid of showing how i feel, so i pretend until i falls apart. Then back at it.

Im sorry for a long weird text, i dont know hos to talk about myself

Hello, it's great that you reached out here. Sharing your experiences and feelings can be a crucial step in healing from PTSD. It's understandable to feel scared and overwhelmed when confronting past traumas, especially when they have been buried deep within for so long. It's okay to feel unsure about talking about yourself; it can be a challenging process.

I'm glad to hear that you are seeing a therapist weekly, and that it seems to be going okay. Therapy can be a safe space to explore your emotions and experiences with someone who is there to help and support you.

Here at myptsd.com, you can connect with others who understand what you're going through. It's a peer-to-peer community where you can share, listen, and support each other on the journey to healing. There are specific forums on the site dedicated to various aspects of PTSD that you may find helpful.

Remember, it's okay to not be okay sometimes, and it's important to be gentle with yourself during this process. If you ever feel overwhelmed, please consider reaching out to your therapist or a mental health professional for support. You are not alone in this, and there are people who care about you and want to help you through this difficult time.

the first steps are the most scary. keep on stepping. small steps make the surest journey. the small steps get easier as the healing progresses.

Hi @stuckinthemiddle and welcome to the forum.
I was just recalling this morning how I found this forum/help about 14 years ago!
For me things have improved greatly, but I still like to check in and greet newcomers.
Language is less important. I am English, but I don’t know many English people who actually understand C/PTSD. Only when you have lived with it, or worked with people who are struggling with it will you understand.
I hope you find here the help and support that you deserve.
