Sufferer Just diagnosed - i want to learn more about it and see what it is that i can do for myself.

[Gabbiekayy]

my name is Karla, and in 26.
I was just recently diagnosed with PTSD. I’ve know something was wrong with me for a while now but I never knew what exactly was it that I had. I thought ptsd was something that only happened to ppl who were once at war had or got. But now that I know what I have, I want to learn more about it and see what it is that I can do for myself. And stop feeling the way I do. It’s affecting so much of my life and and I want to understand and find a way to cope and help others understand me.

Karla I'm so happy you found us. This site has made a really big difference in my life. I came here at the same stage kinda. I wasn't yet diagnosed and the guidence I found led me to getting an assessment and therapy.

Your mind will be blown as you make your way around the site. You will relate so deeply to the threads and other ptsd warriors.

Sorry you have ptsd but am really excited for you.

Like you, I came here shortly after being diagnosed with PTSD. This is a wonderful place to land. It will be a good solid place of encouragement and validation, if needed, as you learn more about yourself in this journey. Glad you have joined us.

Hi there Karla

Welcome to this site. Reaching out means to me you are ready for help and ready to heal. Reaching out early is the best. For so many of us it takes years and decades for us to be able to reach out for help. Good for you reaching out sooner than later. Good luck on your healing journey.

Peace be safe

Hi Karla,
I just joined and was also officially diagnosed with PTSD just last week but it should have been sooner, and I knew it was coming. It's not any easier when you see it coming though, the official diagnosis makes it just that, official. It's just a lot to take in. Good luck on your path I hope we can both learn more and try to conquer this.

Welcome! Its an enormous help and relief to finally start understanding what is happening and how to deal with it. You also sound like you aren't wasting too much valuable energy and time fighting the diagnoses. :tup:
