Surpassing the Fear of Introduction

[Manic11]

Hi everyone,
I wanted to introduce myself to everyone. My name is Dana... I have lived with many anxiety disorders, especially PTSD, every since I was little. I have beat it before. And when I say beat it I mean that it was completely under control and I got my life back. But recently, after another event it has come back and much worse than it was before. I felt like I had no where else to turn. I went back to my old ways of hurting myself and I decided that this isn't right... I joined this forum in hope to find help for myself and to help others. No one deserves to go through this and I hope to join in the community to fight against PTSD. I hope to make new friends and I hope I can help others as well as finding help myself. Hopefully one day I can tell someone what happened and move past this. This is why I'm here... I can't do this alone so beat this together :)

Hi Dana,

The fact that you once had your PTSD under control and got your life back is intriguing to me. Looks like having you aboard will be a win/win situation for everybody. Looking forward to learning more about you.

Welcome Dana :hello:

I, too, was able for many years to get my symptoms/ behaviours under complete control. I thought I was cured! Now I am working "backwards" and "forwards" to try to heal again, this time with greater understanding.

I know you will be able to, too, even better than before.

Peace and best wishes to you.
