Hi there. I am a 39 yrs old divorced woman probably dealing with PTSD. I recently figured that being in unhealthy relationship doesnt mean i was mean and deserve it but it has alot to do wIth our childhood memories or experiences.

@shaye15 Welcome to the forum!

Check out some of the threads and posts in the domestic violence section of this forum. Whether or not you are diagnosed with PTSD (hopefully that won't be the case) there will be a lot of issues to address and overcome. I hope you find this forum and the support here helpful.

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for the warm welcome.
I probably have the PTSD in a way plus the HSP. I am living a normal life though but I kind of like find it hard to fit in to this world sometimes. Alone time is very important to me. Its how i recharge but lately i am getting the idea of this not how i want to live my life for the next couple of years. I am currently single but i fear of meeting new people :(

Hi, Shaye. I'm glad you found us. Welcome.

What is HSP?

"Probably have the PTSD in a way" is a good start to move into therapy or some sort of professional help. Self-diagnosing is dangerous, and I encourage you to gain an appropriate diagnosis from a professional. Hopefully, you do not have PTSD. That in no way means your suffering, feelings, and issues are not valid. It just means your brain may not be irreparably damaged from trauma. I hope it is not.

Regardless, hopefully you will find some good resources and tools here while you seek a professional and sort out your diagnosis and current issues.
