Sufferer I Don't Know What To Do...

[Aimpricot]

Hey everyone, I'm new!

I found this site by accident, but the support I've seen already is amazing. And I really could use some.
I was violently raped in the summer and I've just been diagnosed with PTSD. I don't even know where to start, some days I feel like I'm doing great, and then I'll have a flashback, or a night terror and I'm right back at square one.
It would be amazing to just feel like I'm not going crazy y'know? X

You aren't going crazy! Our bodies just don't like us forgetting things :( *hugs* if you want them!

So glad you found this website! You are right, flashbacks can be so disturbing. Sorry you even have to deal with them. I hope this forum gives you support to get through flashbacks.

Make sure search The Vault for dealing flashbacks. Refular therapy, and expressive therapies were helpful to me.
Good luck!
