This is officially my first post. I have read many, many threads on this site but until now I have not had the courage to sign up or to participate. There is a basic reluctance in facing my PTSD, because I simply want it to go far, far away without having to make an effort to banish it. But time has taught me the lesson well- you can not ignore a problem if it is the kind of problem that grows with neglect.
And so here I am. Taking the first step, walking a fine line, and hoping beyond all hope to help others, and then myself.
Too often I have thought "I am alone" or " I can do this alone" or "no one understands". I can not explain how conflicted I feel inside- happy for finding that I am indeed not alone, yet saddened for the very same reason. It literally pains me to know that so many people out there feel (or have felt) the same way that I do (even if the circumstances are vastly varying) and that at a bottom-line point of view we are all here on this site for the very same reason.
Thank you for this site, and thanks for being here, if for no other reason than to help one another while we battle our own demons.
