New Here
It was suggested I introduce myself, so hey all! I'm new to this whole ptsd forum although the ptsd itself has impacted my life very greatly as well as being diagnosed bpd, bi-polar, depression & anxiety along with ptsd. I struggled with substance abuse for much of my teen's and twenties and am sober now but i find now that im not numbing myself all of my issues have come back up like I've never experienced before. I am a mother of a two yr old who is my biggest reason for getting better and have a very loving and supportive boyfriend who is sticking by me through all of this. I've never addressed my issues with mental illness though I've been in and out of counselling and been on a bunch of different psych meds over the years. I was papered by my couples counsellor about two-ish weeks ago and am now doing a dual diagnosis group I.o.p. and am working with a prescriber to hopefully find a woeking combo of meds to deal with my symptoms and hopefully can find a good trauma focused therapist to work through all of it. Thank you to all who reply in advance and to those who have posted on my profile to welcome me and encourage my being here. I have a slight issue with feeling comfortable posting but at this point I am willing to try anything to get better.
 
Welcome to the forum. :)

I'm glad you pushed beyond your comfort zone to introduce yourself. I know it's not easy putting yourself out there for the first time in a new environment. I hope you continue to post-----as you are ready-----as you can get a great deal of support here while you're on your healing journey.
 
Welcome @Greenbean87! The first post is the hardest and now you have it out of the way, great job. There are kind, supportive, helpful people here that are all going through the same types of things. That makes for some great advise and great support too. I think you'll be glad you took that leap of faith as you continue on your healing journey. :hug: Raven
