New To Forum - So Good To Not Be Alone In This

[longjourney]

I found this forum quite by accident but am hoping to find some support and help here. I have been off work for some time diagnosed with PTSD. I have had trouble with councilors not believing me, or giving poor direction and so am not for now getting that type of support. Talking to friends and family about it is very hard My GP has been kind but I have trouble even admitting fully or explaining what is going on. I am on medication, which seems to help a bit but I hope to learn more ways to cope and maybe heal. People do not seem to understand how disabling this can be and I find it so very frustrating even trying to get help. So far, I am learning a lot from the forums and it feels so much better to hear I'm not alone in this journey.

Hi, I'm new also, but I'm, fortunatly, lucky to have a good Psychiatrist and Psychologist. They've been very patient with me. Don't give up on finding a good doc.

Hi LJ and welcome!

I have to second what jo said, don't give up just yet. I know how difficult it is and frustrating when you can't seem to explain it.

I am glad that you are here though. Having somewhere to be able to share and discover things about yourself is a wonderful and enlightening thing...
