Sufferer I'm New... Recently Diagnosed And Looking For A Cure

[Starving]

Hi, I'm new here.

So Hi!! My name is Darcy. I haven't had PTSD long, but man it is so weird and UGH frustrating. I hate it! And so I was Google searching if it ever really goes away, feeling suicidal when I found out no, and then stumbled across this lovely website. SO HI!!(:

I guess I'll tell y'all about what I've been going through. I've had anorexia and major depression for a LONG time with self injurious behaviors and stuff. And I won't go into details as to not trigger anyone, but something happened to me just over a year ago that was really...awful. It was so terrible. I didn't have flashbacks or anything at first but when I finally told someone I started experiencing awful symptoms. And so yeah now I'm here and that's kinda just all of it so yeah.

Welcome to the forum.
Though it doesn't go away it doesn't have to control your life. You are going to need professional help on to some degree. I would find a therapist that specializes in trauma. The forum can help you talk about you experience. You don't get better in silence. I know talking about things sucks but it really does help. There is a special forum for sexual abuse you might want to check out.

I suffered and traumatic childhood and was raised by a grief stricken, mentally ill, drunk. We all have our stories you can as much or as little as you want. We all understand the symptoms. We all have experienced them. The things that going on in head that your friends don't understand. People here understand. You can get better if you want it does however take work. This is not something that time will heal. Good luck on your journey.
Peace

Hello Starving.

You should be proud of yourself for having taken the big, big step of reaching out and joining in our conversations on this forum. We have all been there so never feel alone.
Brad 1980 is right - getting professional help from someone schooled in PTSD is important and this forum is good for when you just want to sound off someone or get some good old fashioned advcie that comes from experience.

We will all be cheering you on so good luck Starving.
