Undiagnosed Hoping To Find Hope

[Hideycave]

Hi community, I have recently come to terms the fact that I have unaddressed issues from my past, and I dont want to pretend I'm ok anymore...at least I dont seem to be able keep it all in and wrapped up. This is not easy for me to admit and deal with, so I'm just looking for inspiration and support. Thanks for reading :)

Welcome, Hideycave. I was the same way when I was diagnosed. I just couldn't keep it all in anymore. But therapy and meds have helped a lot. This forum is really good, too. Good luck.

I'm glad to hear it, altough I'm anxious of talking to someone about it. Thanks!

Oh, I was, too. The first time I went to therapy after these symptoms surfaced I felt totally lost and anxious. I had no idea what was wrong with me. It was very upsetting to learn I had PTSD, but at least I had an explanation. And something to work on to get myself in a better place.

Welcome to the forum!

I worked so hard to keep everything together on the outside, meanwhile my triggers and memories became so overwhelming, that I finally broke down, into being honest with myself.

It has only gotten better since then, as I found tools and support in therapy and in this forum. Medication is very helpful for me, as well.
