Was diagnosised with #ptsd today. I suspected, but it's validating to be told its true. Only my husband and my best friends know. I'm not really sure what's next. I feel weird, because I want to talk about it, but don't want anyone to think I'm making a big deal over nothing. Ultimately, it doesn't change anything. Is this a big deal? I don't know. I don't want to be annoying about it
@CynfulArts I'm happy to hear that you have a diagnosis because that is the first step along the journey towards finding peace again.
I have complex PTSD that cycles through traumas. EMDR has helped me significantly the past two years along with 1:1 talk therapy and I also highly recommend group therapy if you are comfortable in that setting.
Here's the brass tax: don't worry yourself with what others think about your PTSD.
Talk and people will listen. Talking is absolutely paramount. ❤️
@SpaceSlothForever thank you 💙. My psychologist recommended EMDR so that's an avenue I'm looking into
@CynfulArts PTSD IS a big deal. Get help for yourself. Integrate loved ones in the process when needed. I wish you the best. Talk on here as you need. Hey you are not annoying people care.
PTSD is a big deal. I encourage you to get support to understand the implications it has in your life/relationships.
Therapy has helped me a great deal with childhood PTSD.
@CynfulArts Being the victim of injury and pain and attempting to find paths toward healing does not make you "annoying".
We _want_ you healthier and happier.
@CynfulArts PTSD is not nothing
