Hello

[NightKitten]

Hi all,
I just recently realized my life long issues are PTSD related to childhood issues. Took me long enough to figure this out. I'm over 40 and am hoping to find some coping mechanisms on this forum.

Hi and welcome to the forum NightKitten, love your avatar - I suppose you were born under the year of the cat in chinese astrology ?

Those who will give you the best guidance in coping mechanismes will be therapists and/or psychologists. Here you will get some suggestions, but they are just that ... suggestions. There is a great support system between members as having PTSD can be very difficult to deal alone. Sometimes another's comment or story will be an eye opener for our own situation.

Hi Froggie,
I just like cats, I'm actually an OX. Thanks for the tips.

Hi NightKitten,

Welcome to the Forum. If you suspect you have PTSD, and have not gotten a definitive diagnosis, it would be a good idea to see someone. It is really important to know, so you know what direction to go in regard to treatment.

Wishing you the best.
Debbie
