Do I belong here too?
| Sun, 01-15-2006 - 2:38pm |
Been dealing with PTSD for about 3 1/2 years and
anxiety/panic attacks. I post on the PTSD board
and wonder if there is support for me on this
board too. Maybe I can find new ways to deal
with my triggers.

Mary I also suffer PTSD and have found the ladies on this board to be very kind and supportive. So please feel welcome here and post whenever you feel the need. I'm not sure how I would have made it this far without the help of these wonderful women.

Hi Mary, Welcome to our caring community!
Sheri Ann
HAHAHAHA!!! anyway I do hope that we can help you out also--
I suppose I have some PTSD in there as well??? Anxiety and Panic
and in the past Agoraphobia!
I have been sick with the flu for the past couple of weeks and
I got to tell you this IS A BIG TRIGGER FOR ME!! being sick----
my anxiety has tripled!! Not sure exactly why this is but I know
I don't like it one bit! My head is full of mucous and therefore
I am very dizzy ANOTHER TRIGGER!! JEEEEEEEEEZ can't seem to get
rid of the triggers lately----- so let us help you out!
Part of what helps me is knowing it is a trigger and just riding it out!
I also try more relaxation also! What helps you? Take care! Judy
Hi, Mary! We like to think that our members can offer you the support you need. They're very generous with their time in sharing experiences & coping methods to deal with anxiety issues. We have chats on Tues. & Thurs. evenings from 9 to 11pm EST & would love to have you join in. Newbies aren't pressured to share their stories, but I know that Sheri Ann will give you the floor if you want/need to talk. I have got alot of support that way since joining this board.
Join in our discussions. Post any questions or concerns. You are NOT alone. We are all works in progress when dealing with anxiety. I am not cured, but living well & know that our goal is to see you doing the same. It is possible. You are very welcome here. Good luck & GBU! (((hugs))) jan
