Welcome aboard, Girlv. It is a pretty funky little community here. Facebook, it ain't. We all live with PTSD and quite allot of us, such as myself, carry a few sets of etceteras to go with the PTSD. Like the PTSD wasn't enough. . . We share our stories and confusions while we try to support one another through our personal dramas.

So. . . What is your story? No hurry to share. Whenever --if ever-- you are ready.

Welcome, you're basically welcome to post as much or as little as you want.

When posting something that could be a trigger to others, we generally post **TW** (trigger warning). If you feel fragile post **FF**. That's about it.

Again, welcome.

Hi:-) This has been a huge part of my PTSD therapy. Coming here, knowing myself not alone, and having control over leaving/staying, reading or posting, etc, gives me contact with safety.

Welcome:-)

Welcome!

There are a lot of great people here and I'm sure you will find some supportive allies and inspirational people here. This forum continues to be a source of strength for me when I'm really struggling. additionally, it's been a good place to get answers and advice about the more mundane aspects of PTSD, like coping mechanisms, advice on therapy, or "that weird feeling." the members of this forum can help in many ways, wether you want advice, someone to agree with you, or just someone to empathize and listen.

To add to Patti's list of abbreviations here, you may also see PNA, (Please no advice). If you have any questions, fire away. I look forward to getting to know you more.
