Just One Thing - The Best Thing

[Deleted member 12723]

I agree with goingonhope, I have been granted a voice. It is a huge deal, because I am doing a trauma diary, and stuff is coming up that I never told a therapist before.

I was raised not to talk about anything, and I had no idea how deep this ran in me.

It really helps to talk to other people about the ptsd. It has made a profound difference in my life and my healing process has speeded up with pretty great result.

The one thing the forum did was give me back my life. When I came here I was suicidal, self-harming, and completely isolated from my family and friends. Eventually my therapist gave up on me, and if it wasn't for Anthony's one page PTSD Therapy I would not be at the place I am at.

This forum and the members have been my primary source of support and healing. Now I am well enough that I have reconnected with family and friends. I have made some amazing friends here that I have in my life outside the forum. I am also ready to work with a therapist and finish the healing process.

I'll be around for a while, but not just for myself, as I sincerely hope I can give back a fraction of what I have been given. I sincerely believe this forum saved my life.
