Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Support Group
Find support with others who have gone through a traumatic experience. Whether you have chronic or acute PTSD, we are here for you.
PTSD is not a sickness or disease. We are not crazy. We have been through trauma. Maybe several. PTSD is the effect. We have good days and bad days. Sometimes up and down in one day, sometimes even in one hour. Sometimes we know our triggers sometimes we don't. Sometimes there is no trigger, it just is. Some of us have bad dreams, night sweats, shakes, anxiety attacks, depression, isolation, and a slew of other symptoms and sometimes we don't. Some days are worse than others and yes, we have good days. We didn't ask for PTSD. We don't like our PTSD. But we have it, we are aware of it and we try to make it through each day without letting it control us.
Love someone with PTSD and want to know how to help? LOVE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS. THIS IS WHAT WE NEED.

Ohh Bluejay, I am so sorry. You must have been really frightened. Yes, it’s a Lessing when others step in and help us.
Muji, I only broke bricks one time to prove I could do it. My Instructor would always say “What did that brick ever do to you?”
