I Came Out Of The Ptsd Closet

[BlueDream]

I came out, today I decided I'm done hiding from my friends, family & the world. I am done feeling the guilt and shame of trying to hide my trauma and PTSD.
I decided to take to FB, in hopes that putting my face with PTSD might open some people minds, and their perspective on mental health issues.

Congrats for your bravery, BlueDream! I did the same on FB last year when I got so sick of the stigma about PTSD after American Sniper came out.

When it is appropriate for me, I will say that i have PTSD due to a traumatic childhood. I do not offer this information to just everyone around me. It is only when it is a need to know situation.

I applaud your bravery in coming out and wish you the very best.
