The first entry
I found this site searching for PTSD.
Recently figured out that is what my "problem" is.
I have explored so many things: Bi-polar, anxiety, depression, multiple personality disorder... and many more.
Roll them all up into one and you have PTSD.
I heard once that I should not read the DSM because I will diagnose myself with too many problems.
I did it anyway and found I have most of the mental conditions in that book.
Hope to find support and help while I am here.
Already people are sending me hugs and friend requests. I guess we all have a reason we are here. Mine is to figure out how to get on with life again and be productive and happy.
Never been the happy part so that will be new. Well I can't say never been happy. But as a general rule I was typically a very angry man.

Wow, little man, and I mean that in the most respectful way. You can come live with me and I\'ll take care of you. I hope you are in some kind of therapy. Wish there was a way to take all those memories away. I can\'t imagine what you are going through. No one should have to go through something like that, and I\'m sure that there are THOUSANDS if not millions that do. I wish I could hold you and tell you that it\'s okay and that you don\'t \"have to go back there\" again. HUGS AND PRAYERS Cathy
