Anyone Else With PTSD?

I've had numerous mental health professionals note I have PTSD. Mine stems from childhood experiences. For decades my brain has been in denial and am just now beginning to deal with it. Sometimes, after a talk-therapy appointment, I just want to run away...escape.

Hello @sue1

Your feeling about running away is common for those of us who uncover PTSD experiences later on in life. However, often peace will come about as a result of this discovery. Support groups are good for this as well. There are many different groups available to discuss these childhood problems that we've kept "under covers" so to speak. In a support group, we learn from the coping strategies of others and also don't feel so alone in our pain.

Have you tried any support groups?
