Sufferer New to diagnosis - how to start over from abusive relationships

[LeifErica]

Hi Everyone.
I never really know what to say as far as introductions go but I was diagnosed this year with PTSD and I have not really had any support so I thought I would see what others had to say and maybe try to connect with people. I keep myself closed off and have been in some abusive relationships within the past few years. I'm just looking to start over and how to do that is what leaves me stuck.
I'm sure I could say a million things, as I'm sure there is a lot that has been said here. I hope I can connect and find people to talk to or discover more about PTSD. :)

Hi, I am actually new here too. I don't have any answers yet, but I am hoping that maybe going through this with others might make it easier to do. I hope your road gets easier and that we can all learn from each other.
