First Time Poster

Hi All

 

Coming up to a rather stressful health related anniversary. This year i am particularly struggling as have had a rough year or so with marriage breakup, becoming a single parent, work stresses plus the overall ongoing health stuff.

I have been having nightly dreams where i need the life saving operation again. Im on the operating table. Some nights i get it, others i dont.

 

While i have always known my experiences in life have been "not the norm" this is the first time i have recognised that i may have PTSD or something. I have seen apsychologist off and on for years- but i always present as high functioning fighter.

 

Thanks for listening.

Re: First Time Poster

@Pots  Hi Pots and welcome to the forum :D. We are a friendly group of formites which consist of mi sufferers, carers, siblings etc. You might like to have a look around the board at the various threads and post when you feel ready. A good place to start is the Good Morning!  thread which is basicaly a thread which formites post on all day 24/7. Just remember if you want to post to someone in particular put a @ in front of their name like I did for you and they will be sent a notification of your post. I hope to see you around the forum. Love greenpeaxx

@Pots  Another welcome from me. 

Re: First Time Poster

Hey @Pots you have had a lot going on lately by the sounds.

It's good you found the forum. I've found people here accepting and supportive. Welcome.

Soldiering on can be relentless and exhausting, however well you appear to be coping. I've spent a lot of time in that space. My psych said that everyone, no matter how resillient, has their limits. Turned out to be kinda prophetic for me as I hung in there for years until a crisis made me reassess. Do you think your psych is taking you seriously?

Re: First Time Poster

Hello @Pots , just wanted to say hi and welcome. I still class myself as relatively new to the Sane forums and the guys here are wonderful and supportive. 

I have recently been diagnosed with PTSD and still trying to wrap my head around it. 

Hope you are doing as good as you can be right now
