Hi and welcome to the forum:) It is nice to meet you.

Hi lookn4peace. I just joined as well. I hope you can find some of that peace you're searching for here. I know how comforting it can be just to talk with others who have the same diagnosis and similar stories. You feel less alone and more validated. I hope this can be a safe place for you that allows you to begin to trust safe people again.

I agree! Pets and teddy bears are always safe! I'm 25 and my teddy bear from age 4 still comes with me on hard days :)

So, cool, hinds_feet. I'm over 40 and my teddies are still a part of my life--literally traveled cross country with a very large teddie in the passenger seat! I learned as a child that I was destined to forge and walk my own path in life, so I embrace being slightly "unusual" or should I say, atypical.

And, you are so right about absolutely needing the comfort and validation that only comes from talking with others of similar experiences. I feel almost incapable of dealing with anyone else--can't tolerate it right now.

Lookin4peace, Welcome to the PTSD forum. Take your time and learn your way around. On the Homepage are some excellent articles which really refresh on why we are here.

I just had my first anniversary and still feel the sting of arrival. My own journey was so relieved! This site and members do understand and promote healing. It takes time and strength of allowing one to know we deserve better!

The tools are even provided. I wish you a successful journey. Hugs if you accept them. Whitney
