New Here
I was recently (approx 1 month ago) diagnosed with PTSD. I am struggling with this, and many other things which may or may not be related. My life seems to have been completely turned upside down within the past couple of years and I just want it to get better. I have spent many years isolating myself from friends and all but the most immediate family and my fiance. I feel I really need to make some connections with others, especially with others who might know what I am dealing with.
 
Hi lizABelle

Welcome to the forum.

You have found a great place to connect with others, who are trying to deal with all things PTSD, from there own feelings to relationships, and everything inbetween.

If you can find a good therapist, it will help to sort out some of your issues, and in time, manage them easier. No one will tell you it will be easy, none of this is at first. Reading and asking questions here, can help, as there is a lot of information, that will help you understand some of it.

Take care and keep going forward now.

Hello LizABelle

Welcome to the forum. as amethist has said, there's loads of information here about PTSD, and how to deal with the symptoms. Knowledge is power, so the more you understand about it the better! Then you can begin to work out ways forward with the support of the lovely people here :)
 
Hi LizABelle,

I am so happy that you found your way to this forum.:) There are some genuinely caring and compassionate people here who understand what you are going through. Moving out of years of isolation can be difficult at first, but I think you have taken a giant step to overcoming that and you should be proud of yourself for taking that leap of faith!!!

My best to you,
LH
 
Thank you all for the warm welcome. Lionheart777, it was a difficult step to make a first post, and I am hoping it gets easier to post from here on out. I would like to post more about my story, can someone direct me towards the correct section?

Thank you all!
Liz
