How Did You Find This Forum?

That's pretty funny...

Yes, she was one "funny" therapist, she also had the theory that talking about it would re-traumatise me, she was a great one for avoidance, actually I am surprised I ever left her given that I am too!

I was looking for a Forum to occupy my time, any Forum that would sound interesting. Being PTSD, when I saw one on it, I grabbed onto it for dear life and have never let go.

Some other forums I have been on have either been boring or inactive or rude and had attacking kinds of things going on in it. So I was looking for one where none of the above would happen on a Forum. And suddenly I felt at home on a Forum: a new experience!

I have been a member for around 2 years (Oct. 8th 2012). This place has been so healing for me. Ever since I wrote my Trauma Diary I have been so much more at ease. Looking at all that happened to me (and seeing for the first time some of it, as well as putting it all into perspective was so helpful to me).

Reading "You know you have PTSD..." has been so funny. That old cliché "Laughter is the best medicine" is so true! And yet, it has helped me realize that I am like so many other PTSD folks. I don't feel so crazy, knowing that PTSD is this way for all of us. It is like I am not so alone.

I searched in google. All German PTSD related forums requiered so much from their members that I was shocked and didn't dare to join them. I felt much more at ease with this forum here.

I was just recently told the possibility of PTSD as a diagnosis by a therapist. I was looking for whatever information i could find, and stumbled on the forums. I'm glad i found my way here, it helps me feel like less of a freak.
