Sufferer Hello - Recently diagnosed, long time suffering, and very new to the therapy game.

[Spokesperson brave]

Hi, I'm a recently diagnosed, long time suffering, and very new to the therapy game. I have viewed the forum for a while and finally decided to join. I wish everyone the best on their road to recovery. I hate the covid world we live in, I do best in group therapy, where I am learning that the trauma someone has doesn't matter as much as the reactions. I am my own worst enemy, but I realize that, which helps sometimes. I can't say how often I might post, as I'm really good at hiding away, and ignoring/avoiding things when my symptoms are bad. I'm still learning my triggers, and right now I am happy with just realizing when I am triggered. Like group therapy, I often see bits of myself when reading some of the posts on this forum. I wish everyone well on their journey. My prayers go out to everyone suffering, whether you are the person with PTSD, or a caretaker.

Glad you are here. I have felt very stunted by covid. It's hard. This is a good forum for socializing even if it's not face to face, though. It helps me. I hope it helps you, too.
