Anyone Else With PTSD?

I also have been dealing with PTSD, along with chronic depression, and anxiety. I was abused as a child and young adult, sexually, physically, emotionally/mentally. I was told many times that I was worthless & would never amount to anything by family members. I am learning to deal with the triggers that take me back to the abuse in healthier ways. I'm happy to see a group on here and be able to share with others who have gone through similar situations. Today is my first day on the connection and look forward to helping others and also learning from other's experiences of how they deal with or cope with their feelings as they come up.

Welcome, @magspierce. I deal with the same mental health issues, though I didn't experience abuse at home. I was bullied some at school, but depression, PTSD, anxiety, and suicidal ideation developed over the course of many years, dealing with very low self worth and other things, coming to a head when I was 55. I've been climbing out of that hole now for 12 years, with the help of some good therapists along the way.

I hope you'll feel comfortable with the conversations here, and will join in as much as you like.
