Tired Of Feeling Lost

[crimsontears]

I am 20 years old, and have likely had PTSD for 8 years, but it only began to affect my life in significant ways about 4 years ago. I saw a therapist about a year ago now, and she seemed to make things worse. I am so tired of feeling lost and not like myself, and I am hoping to find some support and help here.

Good luck

Thanks everyone, for the welcome. Its been a rough couple of years and I am more than ready to start healing and be myself again.

CrimsonTears, Therapists are people too. There are some really good ones and there are some who, perhaps should be doing something else as an occupation. Have you tried anyone else? I remember sitting in one of my first groups and thinking the guy leading it was a whack job. It made me feel very angry.
Not to sound cheesy, but try just to live in the moment.
It can be rough and sometimes trying to look too far ahead all at once can be daunting. This is a good place to come and vent, talk, explore, learn.
Peace, Jilly B

I found happiness in friends. And work can keep your mind on other things and also help you find friends that share your interests. But you are still alone sometimes that's why you need someone to help you work through it like therapists or family for me it was finding an great girl that cares about me. But you are a girl sooo maybe a nice guy that digs you. But you might not be ready for that. There is a lot of good info on here. Inform yourself. And there is ALWAYS people here to talk to.
