Hi Everyone

[ruedec]

I've been a member for a few months but not posted and am a bit shy and afraid I think sometimes. I have delayed onset PTSD which started 3 years ago this coming February. I do not have a support network of friends or family and I just can't do this alone anymore, so I am speaking up and looking forward to connecting with others here on the forum. I am in therapy and doing EMDR. It is good to be here and I am thankful this forum exists.

Welcome to the forum, ruedec. There are a lot of very good people on this forum, and I don't believe you'll have any trouble finding people to connect with. None of us can do this alone, nor should we have to try.

Peace,
James

Hi ruedec. Thanks for your quick response to my introduction. Feels so darn good to be heard. It's good to hear that you're in therapy. I hope you are finding it useful. It's hard to be alone without a support network. This place is a good start for finding some connection, especially because we are all in similar boats. I hope you can find some face to face connection and support. It can be so helpful. Maybe your therapist has some ideas of support networks in your area. In the meantime, EMDR and the Forum could be a good combination. Glad to see you are posting.

Welcome to the forum.

You posted your Introduction, you have replied to other members too. So your off to a good start, if you take it slowly you will be fine, and it wont be long before you feel part of the community.

Keep going forward.
