Sufferer Trying To Become One

[ladee]

I'm sure it feels like you are exposed. But I can promise you , you are safe here. With this many people here with trust issues, I know you will be understood and supported... again. Just take your time... read around the forum. There are many threads on many subjects, a lot of new things to learn, and it takes time. Takes time to get to know some of us.. to read consistent posts from us..To see who has been thru some really bad times and made it to the other side.... Learn how much or how little you would like to post. There are no rules about that. Being kind and supportive to each other IS a rule... that is part of the reason this forum works so well. We can be having a really bad time... but we do try to treat each other with respect. This is a hard journey. And can be very lonely at times. Just coming here and finding out how many people feel the same way, or they handled a new situation like you did... well, it's just too awesome for words...
There are little tiffs here sometimes, we are all human after all, but they are closely monitored by admin and mods.They are on top of everything that transpires here... and it is very safe.. or none of us would be here...
So hoping you get comfortable, start to feel a measure of safety, and feel a part of the community. To us, you are a part as soon as you join... but please, do what feels right for you... Glad you are here.

Yes it does make sense.
It happened to me when I joined as well.

Advice: Monitor your own mental health as you read the site.
If a thread it making you much more depressed, afraid, triggered, sad, suicidal, etc....
just STOP
Ask yourself "Is reading this supporting my recovery or making my health worse?"

:happy:We are glad you're here.
:happy:Be healthy.

Welcome to the forum :)

The best part of this forum to me so far is that people "get" the ptsd, because they live with it. I have only been a member for a few days, but each time I log on, I find someone else who has posted that I can connect with, and that alone kind of helps me breathe a little better. I agree with VOID, there are some topics that I have started reading and have just had to say "nope, this is not for me", and that is okay to do here.
I hope you gain some help and insight here :)
