Sufferer Abuse Survivor

[Emerald Furlong]

Hello fellow survivors, I was a bit hesitant and contemplative as to whether I should of created an account on here. However, I feel much more relaxed and content now that I took the courageous step in doing so. I must say this community in particular feels very supportive and welcoming which is unfamiliar territory for me but it feels positive nonetheless. I was officially diagnosed with PTSD at 15 from recurring accounts of traumatic abuse (childhood, emotional, sexual etc) I am now 19 and still very much in the process of self-healing and recovery. I really hope to develop a more compassionate attitude towards myself while I'm on this forum. I do know that there's no magic potion or word to heal everything but the process can be endured effectively. I am grateful for this very site and incredibly excited for the impeccable kindness of those on here. We can survive, we can endure and we can heal our minds, hearts and souls alike. Strength in numbers, my friends!

Hello and welcome! Abuse and other types of traumas from childhood until adulthood is mostly why I have PTSD too! You're brave for reaching out. Hope to see you around!

Thank you so much! I'm terribly sorry you've endured such trauma as well but we can overcome it, somehow! Hold onto the hope, even its minimal. I look forward to hearing from ya in the future! Best wishes. :)

Welcome, I'm glad you found us and decided to join. I think you'll be very glad you did. :tup: I too was an unlucky target of childhood abuse. I'm glad you reached out at a much younger age than I did and my hope is that you can bounce back faster because of that.

Good luck in your road to recovery, ;):):hug:. Raven

I'm just as ecstatic that I found this place. I thank you immensely for your endearing words! It's very unfortunate that we've experienced similar childhoods but I really hope you're doing well along your journey to recovery. I'm quite thankful that I became aware of my symptoms associated with PTSD to be able to reach out at this age.

I wish the same to you, best wishes! :):D:giggle:
