Sufferer New Here... Ptsd From Military Sexual Trauma

[AnnShh]

Hi guys, I just found your forum after a particularly bad two weeks. Maybe this will provide some relief.
I have been suffering from anxiety and depression for over a year after being raped by another service member. In September I was hospitalized for suicidal ideations and diagnosed with PTSD.

Over the last 3-4 weeks my nightmares have been significantly worse, I can't sleep, the depression has increased (this weekend alone I didn't get out of bed except to let my dog out), and the suicidal ideations have definitely increased. I just feel alone and in he dark with all of this. I'm hoping this community can help bring some relief.

Welcome to the forum, there are many military PTSD members here, if you ever need advice or just someone to chat with or offload to you only need to ask. Sending :hug:s from the UK.

@AnnShh - Glad you found the forum. I joined a few weeks ago and have been helped a lot with the encouragement of members here.

And, there are many members who understand so much. Others have overcome great odds to survive and share their struggles; and most of us continue each day to deal with all that has happened and is happening to us, like the depression and lack of energy, etc.

You're not alone, just don't give up.

Welcome to the forums, I'm so sorry for what you've been through. Good for you for reaching out. As Ann points out there are so many people here who understand. You are not alone.
