New Here
Hi everyone, my name’s Dandelion. I’m diagnosed with PTSD, autism, ADHD, generalized anxiety disorder and persistent depressive disorder. I’ve been in therapy for a number of years, and am just starting fresh with a new therapist after leaving my old one for being a bad fit. After what feels like a year-long hiatus from real therapy work while I worked with the bad therapist, I’m ready to start doing some real trauma work again, but at the same time, I’m terrified. I’ve been in therapy for almost eight years, being bounced for one reason and another through six different therapists, and in all that time, I’ve never been able to truly look my trauma in the face. I can’t even talk about it; I literally freeze and can’t speak when the subject is broached. I really want to make progress, but I don’t know how to if every time I’m faced with anything that remotely reminds me of the trauma, I run away.
Anyway, sorry this got long, I guess I had more to say than I realized. I look forward to meeting you all and getting to know everyone in the community, and hopefully learning a few coping skills in the process.
