Sufferer New To The Forum. Suffer From Ptsd

[Miss_Understood]

Hello everyone! I'm suffering from PTSD after I was attacked and nearly killed. I tried for a long time to pretend I was fine, that it was no big deal. However, that didn't work. I did not let myself heal my wounds, I know what I was doing wasn't the healthy thing to do. I found this website and hope I can find some insight, knowledge and some good support.

Nice to meet you, you can call me Ani. I live in California with my wife, 4 cats and my roommate and her daughter.

Welcome to the forum.

I've done the same thing--ignore the PTSD and hope it goes away. But it doesn't. For me I kept adding new little traumas and triggers until just about everything became a trigger. No I can't hide my flashbacks. Though they are usually small 'No, No, No' comments and pass quickly. I say them out loud and I can't control when I say them. Like Trauma Turrets. So I've had to come clean about them. That and the sheer emotional pain of the major flashback--like every nerve ending is on fire--made me seek out help.

As you explore the site and participate in it I think you'll find several people with whom you can identify with.

 

[hope for now]

Hi Ani, welcome! I'm new too. Like you, I have been hoping that things would get better, that I would be better, for a loooong time and like Lisa, things have built up to the point where I can't pretend anymore, to myself or to others. Wishing you all the best on your journey.
