Sufferer Willing To Learn And Help Others

[Pdsara]

Hello! My name is Sara. I currently live outside of Dallas, Texas with my husband. I am a social worker and I currently work in foster care. I was recently diagnosed with PTSD. I experienced abuse as a child and in my military career I experienced more abuse. I have always had problems with anxiety but now it is really affecting my career and life. I hope to learn a lot from my fellow suffers as well as be able to help others.

Hi Sara! Welcome to the forum. I also work in a helping profession like yourself and suffer from anxiety related to PTSD. It's an ongoing challenge though learning to manage it is doable. It's interesting being on both sides of the coin as helpers and suffers. This forum has been really helpful even in the short time I've been a member. Best wishes in your recovery journey. :)

Wow, Sunflower, I find that impressive. Right now I am in a bad spot, where I really can't work or go to school at all... I admire you and Sara and others SO MUCH that you are able to do that. I wish I could help people.

You just have take one day at a time. I am struggling a lot at work when it comes to anxiety and meditation seems to help. I try to do a body scan and try to imagine the stress leaving my body. It doesn't always work but when it does I feel so much better for a day or so.
