Sufferer Living With Head Injury And Ptsd.

[Bluejoy]

I've lived with ptsd since childhood and head injury since 80s. I was diagnosed two years ago with ptsd.

Finding out that what plagued me as a child was ptsd. I just didn't understand as a child that the monster and darkness that surrounded me was ptsd. The intrusive thoughts, the fear and anxiety, and the panic were with me all the time.

Since being diagnosed I have worked hard in group and with therapist; and getting information am learning to live with both head injury and ptsd along with medication. It is hard work to not be the ptsd and the head injury. I am a human being. Acceptance is the key for me and I do that one day at a time along with the tools am learning.

Good luck to you all, Bluejoy. :)

I also developed PTSD young and lived with it for almost 10 years before I finally understood what was wrong with me. For years I just thought I was depressed or just a miserable person.


I definatly think therapy is key, good luck to you as well!
