Find support with others who have gone through a traumatic experience. Whether you have chronic or acute PTSD, we are here for you.
I'm back here on dailystrength after many years of being away.
Over these years I've developed more self-awareness, symptom management and self-care skills. Still, PTSD and physical ailments keep me from working. I'm working on finding joy in the life I do have, taking the bad weeks as they come, being thankful for the good weeks. I need more support and sharing in my journal and chatting with you all on these boards could be a step in the right direction. So, Hi!
I have two dogs. One big, one small. I rent two rooms in my house to two ladies, one my age (33) one older (60 something). My major focus, when not on self-care, is on redecorating/making this house 'mine'. Right now the bathroom is underway. I moved in this summer.
I want to get to know you guys, so, here are 3 questions for the fun of it, with my answers. Please give my your answers!
