Sufferer New To This And Looking For Support

[PTSDNovice]

I have recently been diagnosed with PTSD and feel very alone in my experiences. I have come here for support and so that I don't feel so overwhelmed with the loneliness of all the symptoms and experiences that go along with PTSD. I feel really nervous about even acknowledging that I have PTSD; it doesn't seem real or even that my experiences warrant that label.

So hello and I am sure I will share more of my experiences and questions in good time.

PTSD; it doesn't seem real or even that my experiences warrant that label.

Many of us feel this same way about PTSD and our experience. It is one of the reasons we do not compare trauma. When we have been traumatized it is what it is.

It is not the kind of trauma we suffered, it is more about the trauma being unprocessed. So please do not look negatively at yourself. PTSD affects many people for many different reasons. The important thing is recognizing that you have PTSD, and then take the necessary steps to deal with it
