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 was just diagnosed for an event 4 years ago. I think we keep things locked up. Eventually you have to face the fact that what happened still bothers you to this day. And I decided to face it now instead of letting it eat at me for my entire life. I'm sorry for what happened to you. I hope this site helps us both.
I am new here, too. PTSD, ADHD, chronic pain. Still willing. Grateful to be here. I was harassed, worked in a toxic atmosphere, fired. Lost all self-esteem, and I isolate when I'm triggered. I am just starting to figure out that I have to face my demons instead of letting them control me.
If you think you have the symptoms of PTSD, the best thing that you can do for yourself is to see a mental health professional and get an evaluation. Regardless of the reason, symptoms can make daily life difficult at best and at times unmanageable at worst. Knowing what is wrong is the first step in making it better.
