Sufferer Been Dealing With Multiple Traumas For Almost 12 Years

[LilBug]

Hi My name is Lacey I'm new here. As my title says I have dealt with multiple traumas over the past 12 years and it seems never ending sometimes, but things seem to be going well for me for a couple months now so I have been working on being a lil bit more positive about things.

So basically I'm hoping to find some new friends who I have things in common with.

So that's it for now, thank you for reading

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Hi Lacey,

Welcome to the PTSD Forum. I too suffer from multiple traumas. Sigh. It is not easy, is it! The good news is, this place can help a lot. Most of us here get how depressing life can be when you have had multiple traumas. You think you have it together, than someone or something reminds you of old crap and BAM we are off again striving to cope.

I'm old, (67 almost 68) but I can assure you, there are long periods of time ahead of you where you won't even think about your past. You will find happiness and security along the way. The important thing to remember is, "keep breathing". I know that sounds simplistic, but it is true. When we get stressed out, we tend to breathe wrong, then that makes it worse.

I sure do hope you have a good trauma therapist. They are worth their weight in gold. Have him/her write down coping skills for you. Keep them with you and apply them as needed. They are better than any drug on the market.

Keep talking. You are doing fine. See you around the forum.

Safenow
