New Here
hi,
i am new to this forum and wanted to say hey to everyone. i was recently diagnosed with ptsd , even though the assault/kidnap incident happened over 25 years ago. i am told and believe it was a situation at a new job working for a bully that somewhat "triggered " the situation. i was enraged all the time at the smallest things, but could not defend myself or speak up at at work. hah. everyone that knows me thinks i always speak up. i was like a beatin dog. it was awful. yes, i quit but i tryed for 6 months and it did a number on me.
the positive thing that came out of it was being diagnosed and working on getting better. i have an awesome therapist that only works with vicitms of violence. so things have certainly improved in the last six months. but i still have work to do, and that's ok.
so i wanted to introduce myself. i though i would explain my screen name too.
when i was a kid i really thought there was a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, i think it was one of those things you just want to believe no matter how old you get. i hate the man who took that and so much more away from me.
