Sufferer Hi, I'm Jellyjams. Childhood Abuse.

[jellyjams]

I decided to sign up on a PTSD forum and this one was at the top when I googled PTSD forums. I have been diagnosed but at this time am not on any medications for it, though I was taking valium for awhile, but only when it got bad. I can remember exactly when my PTSD started though it was many years before it even had a name. I was diagnosed as an adult back in the 1990's. It stems from childhood abuse and then one particular event that pushed me over the edge, which I won't go into here but I was 7 years old at the time. It changed my life and how I looked at things. That's all for now.

Hi @jellyjams. You have landed in a safe place. I am sorry you had to seek us out, though. PTSD is not what any of us wanted for ourselves. This is a great place for support, encouragement, sharing, and education. I hope you jump in and look around and get acquainted with the different areas, here. If you feel so inclined, you can also start a diary, here, to which is quite helpful in having someplace to express your own thoughts and record your journey toward learning how to better live with your PTSD. Welcome! :)
