Sufferer Re-purposing Myself.....

[Ka-9]

My first time trying any type of PTSD forum, I'm a longterm PTSD/ sufferer, and at this point accepting that I will never recover to my old self- but am working hard on fighting the good fight to at least live the reamainder, and go out on my own terms, not at the descretion of those events. My focus has been on animal, horses-dogs, and climbing. I look forward to meeting, helping, and getting help. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum Ka-9, I'm glad you found us. I like to ride horses as well, so maybe we have something in common to talk about. I hope you will find support here; there are many people in this forum (sufferer and supporter) in all different stages of recovery. I hope you can find the help you need.

Welcome to the forum. What a great way to state a new purpose, I can really relate. I am not the same and likely will never be, or be able to do the same things for many reasons. "re-purposing". Great thread topic.

I also think I like horses, at least in another life. Never really been around them and while riding had been on bucket list, not so likely due to physical stuff but we will see.

Welcome to the discussions :hug: I trust this place helps you. It's extremely helpful in light of the mass measure of individuals who feel comparative and get it. There is a considerable measure of guidance and backing to be found here :) I hope this astounding group helps you as much as it helped me, understanding all the comparable stories, and taking in a ton along the way. Hugs if you accept :hug:

I have no concept of before... but welcome and glad you're here. There's a good deal of growth... post traumatic for self efficacy, resilience (even if it's not necessarily spontaneous anymore but takes a bit of mindfulness), and there are... believe it or not some perks. It ain't all bad. A for instance would be connecting with people about real life issues on a "real" level for example. Normal peeps just don't do that enough, ya know?

Welcome to the forum! I agree with others in that this is a very supportive place and the information provided is priceless. I have also chosen not to have a a Face Book account and haven't due to a former abusive relationship. Despite the security features, haven't wanted to risk it. Anyhow, it doesn't feel like I'm missing much. I think you may develop more meaningful connections on a site such as this one. Glad you're here!! :)

Hi @Ka-9 "re-purposing" . :tup:. :)

I've strangely come around to wanting to be something new, rather than how I was.

I hope you will find much peace, joy, understanding, knowledge & support here. :)
