Berlin, Germany - Searching For Therapist And Friends

[BlisteredSky]

Hi, my name is Trevor. As the title says, I'm looking for friends and a therapist here in Berlin, Germany. i moved here from the US for music, but my PTSD is screwing everything up. I've been paralyzed for the last couple months. finally feeling better-ish. at least enough to start looking for help. i don't want to fail and have to move back. but I'm going to run out of money in the next 2 months. Forget the language barrier, dealing with my PTSD, depression, alcoholism and insomnia is work enough...

hmmm. just came up with an idea. Maybe i can start a Meetup group here for people PTSD. ?

Still any help or advice about therapists, friends or groups here in berlin would be helpful. Thanks.

Hi Trevor -

I hope you find someone.

Do you have a facebook account? I know I have gotten lots of help even from folks in other countries from Facebook - I know it is kind of old school now but it has worked for me.

Namaste - Laurie

Hi Trevor.. sorry about the situation, great sight here. Hopefully there are more people in your area that you will find. Love music- my boyfriend is a drummer,he has been struggling with the bottle awhile- but has almost 60 days into recovery.. yay!! Perhaps I'll message you just for some general chit-chat if you are open to it. Welcome!

Laurie, Yes I have Facebook. But have had issues with just posting my negativity there. People just don't want to hear it. So I try to not post anything that will come back to me.

Melissa, good luck with your boyfriend. 60 days is awesome. I've gone 60 days a number of times, all the way to 90. But never longer. So if he's anything like me be careful and conscious. After 60 days I feel like I got this and get lazy and then have that one drink. 2 weeks later it's a 6 pack, 2 weeks after that I'm back full tilt... I take my own advice all the time, but it never seems to help.
