Sufferer Just Trying To Belong Somewhere

[Taylor30313]

I'm not ready to say much, just that I have suffered with PTSD for a very long time and it still effects me to this day. My name is Taylor and I hope to make some friends on here and to feel like I can open up/belong.

Thanks for reading!

Welcome to the forum, Taylor. Whether you decide to open up or maintain your privacy, you have found a place to belong. Things move according to personal needs and inclinations here.

Hope to see you around.

Hello Taylor and welcome to the forum!

Thank you all it means so much! I'm here because it has been so much worse lately. I live in an apartment and every little sound makes me jump. It's awful.

Welcome!

It's OK if you don't want to open up right away. We all know how hard that as. Just know you are not out in the general public here. You are among a bunch of people that really do understand. When you're ready, we will be ready to hear more.

Are you seeing a therapist / psychologist? I ask because that's the best way to start dealing with the triggers. As awesome as this forum is (and it is awesome), we can only provide support, not therapy.

Just a suggestion: check out the articles section for some good reading. That may also help.

Thanks. Yeah I have a wonderful therapist. He really is great. I just have a lit of triggering things going on lately.
