Sufferer Just Saying Hello

New Here
Just decided to join this community on the advice of my eldest daughter. 32 years ago now I was badly burned in a bush fire and have suffered with PTSD ever since. Just recently though it has become quite paralysing and I am finding it difficult to connect to normal life in the way I'd like to. I am hoping that sharing here will be a positive step.
 
Welcome to the forum. Sending :hug:s from the UK if you accept them.

Welcome to the forums :) I am here all the time and this place saved me a couple times. :hug:s to you!

@Amber Rose welcome as well ;)
 
Related to what you mentioned, I have had difficulties approaching new tasks, that in one form or another, trigger one of my traumas, and make it challenging to keep moving forward.

Is this like what happens to you? (Is this what you meant?)
 
Welcome to the Forum Fiery 27,
I am sorry for the terrible trauma you have suffered. I think that you are lucky to have a daughter that cares about you in the way that she does and has directed you to a place where you can find support and comfort. I think reaching out is a positive first step:). Again, welcome aboard!
 
Thank you so much everyone for your lovely warm welcome. I really appreciate it. All smiles gratefully accepted. Hi Amber Rose - we are two newbies together.
For the last few months I have not been able to see people as I normally would due to out of control panic attacks, anxiety etc. Now I would like to get back into the life I used to have, but am finding it very challenging to be around most people for too long. Sometimes I feel like I may be going a little bit crazy ! I am seeing a psychologist though, so she is helping me where she can. Does anyone else have this difficulty ?
