Good for you! I hope you do well on your journey towards recovery.

I also have PTSD. Finding the right therapist was a key element for me. I consider her to be an alli and very important to my successful healing.

I was afraid of taking any meds..I fought them for a very long time. Finally my psychologist explained, just like yours did....the meds will even out the emotions and enable me to get a foothold when I find myself back in the abyss of PTSD hell.
She was so right.

I love your attitude!
Sounds like you are on the right track!!

That is wonderful news! I am so very happy for you!!!!!

But as for the normal thing, that is over rated. I know that there are parts of you that are so far in the fantastic range that when they get out and develop you won't even be able to see normal from there!

Congratulations!
