First Post

[Scofield]

Dear Reader,

This is my first post and I don't really know what to say except that I am here now writing this because I want to connect with others that possibly feel the way that I do. I am hyper vigilant and I never feel safe. I am always stressed out that something bad is going to happen. my thoughts race and I am easily irritated. I really want to know what it feels like to be happy and at ease. I don't have much else to say right now except that I hope that anyone living on red alert the best of luck in life.

Hi. Welcome. Look around. There's a lot of good resources here, and a lot of us that have been through and are going through similar situations. You aren't alone.

Welcome, Scofield!
Sorry that you are suffering and have the need for support. Happy that there is a place like this to come to! I too, often have the feeling like something bad is right around the 'corner'. I look forward to bedtime more than I should, I think, cuz I feel safe and secure curled up in my bed sleeping!

Discovering that there are people that have the same feelings is so helpful. It is easy to think that we are the only ones' struggling, when actually, many people struggle with issues and traumas. Sad, but true. Different causes, but the results have been the same!

Be kind to yourself, and take life one day at a time...sometimes it's one breath at a time!!

Hope to see you around the Forum!

You have come to the right place. I have found comfort on here quickly and was so reassured that I am not going through life with ptsd alone. That there really are other people going through life the hard way, just like me. I hope being here helps you too.:)
