RE: People with PTSD need acceptance and your Support

in #ptsd8 years ago

Thank you so much for opening up and sharing your story! My sister and I were diagnosed with PTSD when we were 8, where at the time we had a bipolar dad off of his lithium. It was from trauma but I still carry the symptoms of it as an adult. I am still able to switch off my emotions and 'fly in neutral', which may seem like a good thing, but it really isn't I have come to learn. I'm so sorry you are going though it, this is such a great way to inform people! You did great work, following :)

thank you for the follow. I'm so sorry that your still affected to this day. I understand though. My stuff was decades ago but I'm still affected by it. I know it's hard and I know about flying in neutral and compartmentalizing. I'm with you on that. I've recently discovered it's not a good thing for me either :) We'll get through this. Together even. As soon as I figure out how I would like to start a group on here and we can all talk and collaborate together and maybe help eachother raise awareness. I'm still pretty new here though and I'm still pretty confused about a lot of things. Because it's changing and growing and there are a lot of old articles and such.

I really appreciate your sincere reply, it is very encouraging to know there are other people at a similar phase in the process. That would be so great, I would be 100% on board in joining and interacting. Following, we will definitely get there, would love to share the journey!
