Ginger, thank you for your reply, Yes this site is a God send for me. I feel I am back in control now and I am once again OK. I will be back, trust me I will, I have found a new home here and have already heard from some of the nicest people around. Yes writing thing out help me too, I love to write and I write a lot. But it helps to receive feedback too. I am glad I can make a difference and I think I am going to hang around and see if I can be of any help to anyone else. Thanks again.. Jeanie.

I've been following your conversation here. PTSD is rough stuff. I remember asking my therapist when I'd be over this. When he said never, I did something I've only done a few times as an adult. I started crying. When I could talk again I told him that noone had ever told me that. I didn't want to hear it. But, in a way, it's true. We go through the long, hard process of recovery, and we're okay until a trigger clicks and shoots us down. I'm learning that with time we start recognizing the triggers and the coping skills kick in and we aren't totally derailed. I see that you've been doing this long enough to have what it takes to stand back up and kick back. You have joined the other survivors in the group and shown people like me who haven't gotten there yet that the trauma behind the PTSD will release its grip. Not as fast as we'd like, but it will happen. Thanks for the encouragement.
