Hello-

I just want to say hello. I also have ptsd. I am learning to live and perhaps regain some of what was lost. Mostly I feel very alone and use unhealthy coping techniques.

I hope I can learn to mend.

Welcome. I hear what you are saying about using unhealthy coping mechanisms. Being aware is a huge step. You are not alone. It is a journey and I have started thinking of the unhealthy things as ways I used to survive. I try not to judge myself for finding ways to cope and have started learning healthy coping skills. Again welcome
