I am new here and trying to find a support  group till I can get into Sheppard Pratt trauma  disorders program.  I have found that Neda online support system has been helpful for me for my eating disorder I wanted to find one for PTSD. I feel like I'm constantly in crisis because why I need to get into Sheppard Pratt.  I don't want to share too much until I learn a little bit about how this works.  I just know that today has been one of the worst days ever. Hopefully I can find support here

And I guess I'll share a little bit. My PTSD stems from being sexually abused by my father from the time I was twelve until I was 41 when I moved out of my parents house. I blocked it out all that time and didn't even know about it. I'm really struggling with wanting to stay alive anymore. Desperately need support. From people who get it.

Welcome to the group. You've joined at a bit of a slow time on here. It's usually more active.

I wasn't sexually abused myself, but I do come from a rough childhood. Blocking it all out is way too common. (I mean NOTHING against you.) It's just that...well...yeah...no childhood should be that way. Sadly, you're far from alone.

Welcome. I was sexually abused by my dad too. My memory is very limited and patchy. To block it out protects me because i have no therapy to process it properly. I hope ur able to get into ur ptsd programme soon. Welcome.

    Life has been really hard this past year. I'm really feeling down and  alone.  I can't talk to my family about my depression and anxiety their not very understanding about it.  It's really hitting me since my mother passed a few months ago, plus stress from having to eventually move.  Also having my niece coming around who suffers bipolar and refuses to take medication for it.  Its been...
