Sufferer Hi Everyone - Just Joined

[cat-lady]

Hi everyone, I just joined this site. I have had ptsd all my life since early childhood. I have never joined a site like this before though. I'm interested in learning more about ptsd and coping strategies. It is currently interfering with my life a lot despite therapy and medication. I am doing ok considering. I don't have any formalized education in this type of stuff but have lots of life experience to share. I have found support groups helpful in the past but don't have time or energy at this point to go to one in person so I thought I'd give this a try. Glad to have found this site and looking forward to participating in it more!

Welcome to the forum! I joined because I don't have the gonads for an in-person support group (even if there was a local one) and the support, tips and insight has been immense. This is such a great community to keep you on your feet and moving forward:)

Welcome, cat-lady! I'm a cat lover as well! Feel free to post pictures of your fur babies!

I'm glad you found this forum. It's become a very important part of my life, as it's the only place where I've ever felt that I can be myself. It's also just so comforting to speak with people who *get* you,and won't judge you.

I hope to see you on chat!

Hi Ragdoll Circus, thanks for the welcome! I wasn't ready to go to an in person group at first either. When I finally did it was really rewarding and I made some great friends. I've moved across the country since then though and now don't feel ready to restart that in person process over again with everything else going on in my life right now. This seems like a great alternative. I'm so glad I found this site.
