Understand AI use at MyPTSD: all AI use is explained in our AI help page. AI use is by choice here. It exists if you want it, but does nothing unless you choose to use it.
I'm scared to write...it just hurts so much and so many years have gone by with very little recognition to my ptsd. I am afraid it will push me to drink and I am trying so hard to quit, the pain is massive....thank you for helping me to break the ice...we need each other so badly.
Hey Tam, I think you're going to find a lot of support and encouragement here. I've only been here a few weeks and already I feel much, much better just having others to share with that can relate.
Hi Tam
i am new to the forum also,my third posting.I think we have found safe place not only to vent our troubles but support others.This is what i would call a "win,win" situation
It's really OK to be shy and scared here. We all know what that's like. And we can relate to your pain and fears. Please stay strong and stay away from booze. It is a way of self-medicating but it doesn't work in the long run.
It's sad that your pain is massive but now you sound like you are ready to start dealing with your PTSD. It's a long hard road and the folks on this forum are ready and willing to help. Congradulations on being brave enough to start.
Hi, Tam. In case it helps, I have felt exactly as you appear to be feeling when you wrote your post. I'm sure you'll find people here you feel comfortable talking to, whenever you feel safe enough to tell your story.
