Sufferer Looking For Help

[Samantha_38]

I'm somewhat newly diagnosed. I've had PTSD for years though, I was just in denial about it. I'm going through a really hard time currently and looking for someone or people to talk to that understand. I'm 24 and had multiple childhood abusers. How do I go about finding someone to talk to on here? Well first I must ask...is it possible that you message with one or a couple people continuously. I want someone I can really connect with. I really look forward to hopefully meeting some people that understand, because I don't know anyone who does, and also having the ability to ask the whole group when I have questions that come up.

Hey there

I am new here as well. I am also female, and 25 years old. I've had memories of abuse return to me over the past couple of years, as well I've been experiencing nightmares and night terrors on a nightly basis. I've found this forum to be so comforting, the people have been very kind and the advice offered is considerate and empathetic. If you'd like, feel free to privately message me, and we can talk. I wouldn't mind having a pen pal :) For general issues, posting in one of the forums is your best bet because then you get multiple points of view from people with different experiences.

Sounds like me right now. I can't sleep at all.

Hello, good need, good question. Yes, I liked the idea above. As in any develpoing relationship, why don't you see who you like on this forum by creating a thread, get multiple responses, use any useful information, and see if you want to contact anyone further.

I believe the custom is what is stated above; and some may im.

Also, if you go on the main forums page, there is a chat window which is open to anyone. Usually there's about 5-6 active members chatting, I've met some good people through that.
