Welcome

If you have PTSD then you are already living in hell.

A very dear friend of mine said:

"It's not about the Destination it's all about the Journey"

" If you feel like your going through hell...well my friends that's not the place to stop."

I wholeheartedly agree.
PTSD Post Traumatic Stress Disorder what is it?
How did I get it?
Do I have to be medicated for the rest of my life?
The chaos I create just keeps going, it's a vicious cycle... I want to get off this merry-go-round.
My adventure started long before PTSD was even recognized as a disorder. I was not a service (vietnam) related PTSD as it has been commonly referred to. I was traumatized as a child with the death of my mother, and then later by abusive men. My responses to stress is often compounded by the miscued thinking patterns developed as a coping mechanism. It is my hope to publish my story and my recovery attempts here, to help anyone else who may be in the same situation.
