Sufferer More Than A Diagnosis

[oneandonlyMOM]

Here it goes
At 27, I can be labeled as;

Rape victim
Physical/Mental Abuse victim
Grieving the loss of someone who's support I desperately need.
Anxiety
Panic attacks
Depression
PTSD

But that's not what defines me. I am now a mother, a wife, a friend, and in need of a place to get my emotions out. I prefer positive feedback, and I am not an open book. I need to gain trust before I am going to go into detail.

Hi, hope you find the help you need here!

I for one won't label you. Nice post.

You are very brave to share what you did. You are also not your diagnoses and they are merely a tool to fashion appropriate and helpful treatment or support. Take your time to settle in.

Hi oneandonlyMOM,

Welcome to MyPTSD Forum! :)

I love your introduction, and the reminder that PTSD is what we have and not who we are. I hope you find the information and support here beneficial to your healing.

Take care.

Debbie

I, too, like small bytes and long chews. Taking on too much at once chokes me every time.
