New Girl Lookin For Help

[SadBunny]

I'm 18 and I've been dealin with a lot of problems with PTSD. I deal with it mostly on my own, I guess cuz im afraid people wont accept me. I guess opening up online is alot easier than when a person judging eyes are staring at you.

Things have been getting a lot harder to deal with and understand. Reality seems to slip away. I use music and art to express what word's can't seem to say. I'm really big into all arts. I write a lot of poetry and stuff.

I'm not sure what else to say except I hope that this can help somehow.

Welcome. Don't give up hope. You are still young and have a lot to offer in life. It won't be easy, but it will get tolerable after a while. It is always easier to open up when you don't have to worry about who you are. But we don't judge here. We are all in this together and sometimes it helps to get it out into the universe.

We accept you for who you are, and the help you get is what you take away from the experience. Take it slow, tell your story at your pace, and read what others are about. It helps to know that there are others that are going through some of the same things you are.

And read some of the articles. It will give you a better understanding of what you have.

Welcome Sad Bunny. I emote with music too, but only recently went back to writing. I used to write poetry, that is one of my "not yets" now.

hang in there Sadbunny. I was diagnosed late in life.l Life would have been much better had I really known more about PTSD. Life is really beautiful. I write and use music to remind me of this also. you are very brave to be looking for answers now.

Hi sadbunny, I too express how I feel with art and music. When I get to that point that I am just feeling so down I will go into my office, put on some music I really enjoy and then just draw away. I also think you are very brave and I hope you find some help here and maybe make some friends as well.

Personally i don't think i'm a good artist but it helps me feel better thats all that counts i guess. Thank you for saying that i'm brave i appreciate it. Even though i don't feel it. This site is a really great thing i hope i can find help as well and make good friends

Im glad you found out while you are so young. I knew nothing when I was your age. I knew that my feelings seemed to be off on things.
