Chicago, IL.

[Stir Ling]

I'm in Oak Park, very close to both the Blue and Green lines. My neighborhood has several attractive cafes and beautiful parks. I'm also willing to go anywhere the el goes. I'd be happy to meet with anyone for coffee or tea, or perhaps for yoga or meditation. My PTSD is getting bad. I feel awful for the amount of stress I'm putting on my wife and child. I feel all their stress is my fault. (I know it's not, but it just doesn't help to reason...)

Hi. My name is Jeff, and I live in Chicago. I'm looking for others with ptsd to have some coffee with and chat. Trying to get out more. So pm me and let me know. I'm a pretty nice guy. Just darn hard to get myself out and about. Thanks.

What neighborhood do you live in? I'm in Oak Park. I'm a male, 38, well-educated and traveled.

Hi, I'm Amanda. I live in the Schaumburg area, so not too far from Chicago. I would be interested in a small gathering of people, as I too do not get out as much as I should. I am super shy, and I have the bad habit of assuming people look down on me because I am 'so young', so I must not know anything. But I think that's just issues I have to work out with myself. :)

I am going to be in Schaumburg Sunday morning to pick up a puppy and also Wednesday. I'm not that far from you and would like to get a PTSD support group going in the Chicago area.
Hugs,
Gloria

Jeff,
I want to start a PTSD support group in Chicago so keep in touch. I am retired but have a masters and am well-traveled but that's not what brings us to this forum. I got most of my education from the school of hard knocks!!:p
Hugs,
Gloria
