Sufferer Nervous

[fuzzypenguin]

Hey, so I'm really bad at these but I shall give it a go.

My name is Emily & I've been dealing with PTSD for about two years now. Apart from PTSD, I've also been dealing with depression, anxiety, insomnia, and dermatillomania. Some days I wonder how I've been this strong (by the way, I'm not suicidal) because of how betrayed and hurt I was. I have good days and bad days. At times it feels like I have more bad that good and the good blur together with the bad. I'm a full time student studying Psychology, which can be triggering but my professors understand & I work through it, somehow. I'm not usually the best one

It's honorable that you're getting into that field, with the triggers it presents, but it will be rewarding to you I believe. Welcome!

Hi @fuzzypenguin and welcome to the forum.

I too am studying psychology. I love learning all about how our brains and minds work and interact. It is a fascinating subject!

@fuzzypenguin Welcome to the forum!

Studying psychology is fascinating and it can also be a great way to gain understanding of what is going on with ourselves. Are you also in therapy to address your own traumas? This site is another source of information and support as you continue your own healing.
