Sufferer Just Diagnosed

[gabrielle]

I feel a little less crazy, but still very much alone and lost

My family doesn't understand what has been happening to me. I don't feel like trying to explain it to them.
As soon as my doctor mentioned PTSD, everything seemed to click in my mind.

Welcome Gabrielle...I think almost every member of the forum would admit that they could have written your post, themselves...I know I could have. Here's hoping you'll find support, and relief, here....I have. Feel free to personal message me.

Welcome to the forum Gabrielle,

oh yes, when it first starts to make sense, it can be a bit like disconnecting from the matrix, or like being a character in a Philip K Dick story.

I've found excellent support here, far more than i usually find in meat space, and yeah, family... My old mum is the only family member I've told, and she doesn't really have any framework to fit the concept into, her attempts to help are usually well meaning and usually totally unwelcome.

@gabrielle Welcome to the forum!

One of the best things about this site is that you are among people who really do understand and you don't have to explain. I hope you find the information and support here helpful.
