Sufferer Hello, New Here

[Girl in Seattle]

Hey, my name is Jess. I've recently been diagnosed with PTSD at 32. The abuse started around 11. I've never really have felt right since that time. It's very confusing and I can barely remember what happened but I know it was bad. I have the most terrifying nightmares and I get panic attacks pretty regularly. I have a very patient and loving boyfriend, for that I am so grateful. I'm getting therapy and taking Effexor with Clexa which seems to be reducing my symptoms. I don't really know what I'm doing on this site. It's 3am and I can't sleep. I guess I was just looking for some friends that could understand what I'm going through. Thanks! Sorry, not the best writer at this hour.

I agree with Ladee. I don't know how I got here but honestly, this site and the wonderful people in it have supported me through some harsh times. My trauma was 12 years ago and I never told a soul. It has not been easy but therapy and support have allowed me to start a process that I thought should be buried. Although we are all different and have had different experiences we can all identify and understand the feelings we experience. I hope this place becomes another tool you can use to get to a better place. If you ever need someone to talk you can send me a pm. Good luck!
