Sufferer Hello!

[Chi Square Latte]

Hey,

I've just joined up to myPTSD. I'm looking forward to talking to people who understand the symptoms and feelings I experience, because it can get a bit lonely being the only person I know with the issues that I do.

I'm seeing a counsellor, who is great, and I have two really good friends who have been amazing, especially as recently has been tough for me. But sometimes, its hard for them to understand how I feel, and its not their fault, they just don't have PTSD. So it would be nice to talk to people who "get" me.

I'm in my first year of my PhD, and I'm determined to finish, despite everything that seems to be thrown at me!

Welcome to the forums!
I know the feeling of lonelyness, it's quite hard to find those who understand. There are many similar people here, and I'm glad you are managing to still do your PhD :)

Hopefully this place helps you, also, side question, what topic is it on :P ?

Hugs and welcome!

Welcome! There is a lot of support to be found here.
Great to hear that you have such good friends.

Hi Saelben,

My topic is investigating whether the number of children receiving free school meals (an indicator of child poverty) effects how well a behavioural intervention works in the classroom.

Oh, that is interesting :) I would really like to hear what kinds of results you are getting from that.
It's a really unobvious topic

Well its the first round of data collection at the moment, so hopefully I'll find some interesting stuff soon!

Welcome! I think its been 3 years for me here, and we all seem to get each other. Yet, there's always more to learn from each other.

Is your study a psychological study or more oriented toward public policy? Just curious. Sounds interesting.

Hi @WillyKat the study is a psychological one, but there are major implications for public policy too!
