Sufferer Hello...and stuff. multiple traumas, ptsd & autism

[ladee]

It really was at the beginning... not so much after about TEN FREEKIN YEARS.... :devilish::dpressed::clown::wideeyed:

So a trip to the Dollar Store for party drinks???? :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: Gotta respect someone who says he can't guarantee no stalking.... maybe you will pick up some 'observation' skills here.....:ninja:

Truly are glad you are here... hope you are reading around, checking out topics and threads that resonate or interest you, and seeing how supportive everyone is.... just no other place like this... This journey is hard enough, but when we find we don't have to do it alone.... does take a lot of pressure off.... wish this place had been here when I first started but it would have taken too long to hammer out the replies on those rock tablets... but very grateful I am here now.... :D

Welcome!

Sufferer is just another way of saying “I have PTSD”

I think we all suffer on one level or another, otherwise it wouldn’t be a disorder.

Well, I still think it's an impressive achievement. I can't even give up coke (thankfully just the soft drink) for more than a week.

I get that feeling. I suffered with nightmares, flashbacks, depression and anger for years before ever thinking I might need some help. That whole "don't talk about your problems" mentality really screwed me. It would have been nice if I could have felt safe talking about it earlier, but it is what it is.

Thanks for the welcome. Yeah, I understand that. It's just a mental block. There's still a "dude bro" in me that thinks I'm showing weakness by identifying with that prefix.
