You are not alone. It is a struggle. Especially at first it is scary and then you realize, you have others that have got your back: that can relate, understand and support.
Ptsd is so challenging and exhausting. The stress, depression, triggers, anxiety, fears, memories. And yet, you are in a safe place - a refuge- while struggling, as well as while celebrating even the smallest milestones. We are there with strong shoulders when you need to cry and marching bands and hugs when what seems like a victory overtakes us with joy. Even (what seems irl to others like nothing) and the smallest gain is huge. We get it.
You have a support team here second to none. There is love, kindness, understanding and unwaivering support. This place is a rare gift...the people I have met angels.

Just because you do not hear from me, does not mean I am not thinking of you and reading your posts and sending you my concern and prayers. I am just very withdrawn now.
