Hi Austin, I'm also really new to this and what you're describing with your sadness is something I feel too. My trauma stems from a relationship and I now worry I'm never going to be able to make connections in the same way again - that I am permanently "broken" . I still try to work through this aspect of my trauma every day but it is really exhausting.

How has your search for therapy been going?

Hi Austin welcome!
Sorry to read you are suffering!
You will rebuild!
I have found there are times when PTSD kicks my a** but times when there is an ease with my world.
You appear to be doing all the right things Medication/Therapy. I'm sure you have heard your Therapist say "Be kind to yourself".
However, words are easy! Actions are another battle entirely! You will get there!
Just sorry that this moment you are feeling the weight of it!

Welcome, Austin, I got PTSD from being raised as a missionary kid in a war zone, but then I had a manager like your for the last 10 years of my teaching career. Boy, am I glad to be away from that one! Glad you found us. We get it.
