Hi! I'm new here and I'm not sure how this works or how much to share, but I'm giving it a shot.


I've been diagnosed with depression, PTSD and anxiety for over 20 years. I've recently relocated to 


a new area and am just now getting (re) started on talk therapy/EMDR as well as being put on new


meds. I've been isolating due to events that have happened within the past year or so and I'm trying


to get a foothold on my life again. I'm frustrated to be back in this place again after doing so much EMDR


therapy (almost 18 months worth) 3 years ago but I'm trying. I am hoping being here will help me to find 


resources to help me get through or maybe just learn how to go easy on myself. I know it's a day at a time, but


I'm not really a patient person. I just wanted to feel less alone. Thanks for hearing me.

Welcome from me too! Don't beat yourself up. I'm no stranger to therapy and meds myself. I am much better than I was years ago but there for a while, I was having panic attacks often. Anyway, your first post was perfect and you will enjoy this forum. Have a good weekend!

That’s the hardest thing to learn is patience. And when we are healing patience is our best friend because there is no such thing as a quick fix. I wish you best and hope you find resources and good people to help you along in your journey

Hello, I also have PTSD. That is not easy. For me I find it comes and goes. EMDR can be helpful but stressful. Good luck with your new relocation!

Hi welcome.
This is a safe space here. Everyone can relate in one way or another and we are all here to encourage and support one another.

You can talk about just about anything on your heart and find compassion, understanding and often very useful advice from people who have been (or are) right where you are in your struggles .

This sight has helped me through some very dark times.
I pray it will be a blessing to you as well.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
