Not Alone

[Yellow]

Hi,
My name is Niki, I am 30 years old and also suffer with PTSD. When my doctor told me I had PTSD I had know clue what that meant, I just knew how I felt inside very lonely and empty.

Now I am taking meds and about to start seeing a therapist, I am so scared to go, but I know if I want to get better I have to.

Hi Yellow,

Welcome to the forum. You will find much support here. Don't be scared about seeing a therapist - there is not shame in it and there is nothing to fear. Therapy (and meds) is all about improving your quality of life. Gone are the days when therapists conduct analysis and judge us, today's therapy is all about understanding and helping you cope better.

Love to you, xxoo

Hi Niki,

Welcome to the PTSD Forum. Receiving the initial diagnosis can be overwhelming. It is understandable that you feel alone, but as you read the posts and information here, you will find that you are not alone. This advice and support of the members here is great as you work on recovery.

Take care and post as you are comfortable.
