Poll What Has Helped You Most By Joining The Ptsd Forum?

[LaurenRose]

I am still a bit stunned by this Forum. It can be overwhelming to be reading real time so many who "know" some of what I am going through. This has been most helpful for me - to be able to relate and to be related to. I still have a fear that somehow it is going to come back and hurt me, but it is an acceptable risk. I am not one to casually lay my emotions and experiences down so I know this is all okay, it's that underlying fear and suspicion of life. I am so grateful and relieved to find this. Kind of like "one-stop-shopping" - it has so very much and from what I have read compared to what I have read and experienced in treatment, the advice is so sound. Yay!!

I have this fear too jellymint, but after all I have shared about my childhood abuse issues, nothing has come back to harm me. Isn't it cool? :cool: I am so grateful to be a part of this forum and I am glad you are here too!!!

I would choose the first option on knowing and connecting. It helps just knowing that on some things there are others that understand. Not that I wish anyone did in most ways; but in others, it is helpful to not feel so totally and utterly alone. The others are all powerful and valid choises as well but the top one is the main one for now.
