I just signed in yesterday.I'm happy to find a support group that deals with PTSD and everything that comes with that...flash-backs. haunting memories, Physical memories, helplessness, fear, isolation, fear of people, self-mutilation, suicidal thoughts, Hospitalization, treatment groups, Counselors, Psychiatrist, medications, prayer groups, Pastoral counceling and so on... I can relate. To add to the trauma I am now dealing with the empty nest syndrum. I just released my son to the Army and my daughter is away working on her masters degree. I have been a widow for 14 years. It was always just the kids and I, but now I feel so alone and still processing through the history of my sexual abuse issues. I guess on early mornings like these that wake me up with disturbing thoughts and dreams I am greatful for a place to reach out and hope for some support. Knowing that I am not alone in my trials. And I do not have to wake up my counselor! Well,that's all for now just wanted to introduce myself and say hi! Blessings to you all!
