New to Forum - Diagnosed Two Weeks Ago

[LadyLux]

Hello,

I'm new to this forum. Was diagnosed with PTSD about two weeks ago. Just hoping to get some insight to it and how I can help myself with the symptoms. Any help, advise, or insight would be greatly appreciated as this effects my life negatively on a daily basis.


Thank You,
LadyLux

Welcome LadyLux :hello:

There is a lot of great info in the threads but also to the "left" ("PTSD Learning", etc).

That's a lot to come to terms with in just 2 weeks.
Best wishes to you!

Thanks for the welcome. I guess I must have messed up on the subject line, because it was changed and I got a notice about editing. Either way thanks for the nice welcome. I will definitely continue looking at the website in hopes of gaining insight to PTSD.

Hi LadyLux,

I was diagnosed with PTSD about three months ago. What I did was find out as much as I could about it. I bought a couple of books and read information on this site and others. When I felt like I knew enough to know what questions to ask, I started asking questions. This forum is a great place to do that, and I've gotten a lot of good answers here.

Are you seeing a counselor or therapist? That has been critical for me. It's hard...so damn hard sometimes, but it sounds like you're taking some steps to figure out what's happening to you. Keep up the good work, and the answers will start coming.

Welcome, and I'm glad you found the forum, LadyLux - I know it's immensely helped me to learn about PTSD and feel supported dealing with the symptoms and working through trauma. Hopefully you will find it a place of learning and healing as well :smile:

Hi LadyLux,

Welcome to the forum. You can look through the threads on here that have to do with coping skills, there are many good suggestions in those. Or, you could tell us some of the symptoms you find yourself having, and we'll try to answer accordingly.

I hope you find the support you need here. This forum is a great tool, and there is much to be learned from all the info Anthony has provided, and from members themselves. You do get what you put in though. It is important to open up (when you feel able) to get the most that you can from this forum.

Good luck
