Hi - I'm Tired

[tired]

Hello, I hope I'm doing this right. I read the posting rules a couple of times but it wasn't sinking in very well so sorry in advance for any errors. :crazy:
I have been reading the forum for a couple of months and have finally gotten up the nerve to write. It is so weird to have found others who are going through some of the same things. I was diagnosed with PTSD back in June. Thanks for being here.

I'm new too

Hi Tired,

Although I am new too, I want to say that it's great you decided to write. I just found this site but had been searching for a while for something exactly like this.

I hope you will share more and this really helps you. I am the fiancee of a veteran with PTSD. And, although I don't have it myself, I'm sure we could both help each other out...as a carer and sufferer.

Hello tired,

It's great that you've decided to write. It took ma a month or so before I wrote anything as well. You'll find lots of great people and information here. Welcome to the forum.

Thank you for the welcome.

After reading for awhile I feel fortunate that I'm able to get by on a day to day basis. I am self employed so I am able to make my own schedule on ugly days.

My **** happened over 20 yrs ago but I still think about parts of it everyday. I have fought for such a long time not to let this have center stage in my life but I think I'm losing the battle.

Hi tired,

I am sure tired too! Welcome to the forum and hopefully we can encourage each other to be strong on this healing journey.

Hi Tired

My **** happened over 20 yrs ago but I still think about parts of it everyday. I have fought for such a long time not to let this have center stage in my life but I think I'm losing the battle.

I relate to this so much. My traumatic incident was 8 years ago and I feel like it's never going to really go away. Why? It's so frustrating to feel like you just can't control your own body and emotions after all this time, and that you'll always be a slave to it.

I have no solutions, just commiserating.

Thank you for being here. I hope you will continue to gain comfort and share as you feel you can. You will be the judge of what you feel you can say and what you cannot.

As you have observed, there are many with similar experiences, reactions, thoughts, fears and problems.

From my carer's point of view, I think it takes incredible courage to share here. I truly hope you find the community here helpful in you coping and healing with your PTSD.

Hi Tired,

I was really tired all the time once, now it is better and intermittent.

Welcome!

Hello Tired,
I did not know that someone like me could get PTSD until I tried to survive it alone for 3 years... Every day is very different and can change at any moment. I still feel like I am alone that's why I am looking to this site to gain a sense of myself once again.

Thank you all for the warm greetings and commiseration. I hope I can return the favor!

dust, thank you in particular for the reminder that this thing can seem lighter some days. I'm just a bit low at this point...

Anthony,

I'm sorry I screwed up the thread title.

I know you have the rules to make it easier for people.

I don't think I can do this right now...I can't take another place where I'm screwing up.

Sorry to bother you
