4 years ago, I was diagnosed with PTSD. This is not something I usually openly share with the people I know, and very few of my friends are aware that I have more than just anxiety. In light of recent events here in Roseburg, Oregon, I feel like I need to be open about my condition so that I can help others find their way. I have gone to therapy, shoved pills down my throat, but nothing has helped me more than time. That's it, simply allowing myself time to heal, and time to reflect and accept what had happened. Since October 1st, I have felt as if I were back at square one in regards to my progress. Triggers that had diminished, for the most part, are now back in full force, and I am having trouble doing day to day tasks without feeling an overwhelming amount of anxiety and grief for what has happened. So, I am not only reaching out because I want to share my story and hopefully influence others to communicate with me and seek the help they need, but I also am in a position where I need support as well. Please do not be ashamed or embarrassed, we are in this together, and having people in your corner who understand what you're feeling will help tremendously. If any of my followers have questions, or need help, please do not hesitate to ask me, whether that's anonymously or not, I will try my best to help you.
