New, And Glad To Be Here.

[lamb7]

Hi All,

I'm an almost 53 year old introverted woman in Minnesota who last summer was diagnosed by my Psychologist as having Chronic PTSD due to childhood and young adult trauma.

My symptoms seemed to worsen when I found I had cancer 6 years ago and had 3 surgeries. I don't seem better since then.

I find I am grateful and relieved to know, because now I can understand more about myself, try to get appropriate help, and now my Psychologist is better equipped to help me. I know longer have to be puzzled, feel hopeless or alone about nightmares, being frightened easily, or feeling numb.

I'm so glad to find this Forum, and look forward to reading about you, and sharing.

Thanks very much, Lamb7

Welcome to the forum....Read as much as you can, and ask questions as you need too. There is usually someone here that can answer your questions.. I too, found it so helpful when I was finally diagnosed about 15 years ago, until then I wasn't sure if everyone experienced what I did inside my head. By the time I was diagnosed I knew I was in trouble, with all of my behavior and suicide attempts through out my life.

I found the diagnosis a helpful tool, to finally get me on the right path to healing to the point that I am at today....

Hi Lamb7

Welcome to the forum.

You are not alone with this, there are many members on here who felt like this at first. Now you are part of the forum, you can learn how to help yourself move forward with this. Learning new coping skills and ways to over come the smaller issues which makes it easier to tackle the bigger ones.

keep reading and asking questions as you need to, then posting and replying as you gain more confidence.

Take care and good luck.
