New here

Hi,

I'm new here.

I have just started seeing a therapist and am struggling quite a lot with PTSD symptoms, and really high anxiety.

This is made harder by the fact that I am a single mum to a 7 year old with Autism and other difficulties. When I struggle, I feel even more guilty as I just cant have the same enthusiasm that I try to have when things are more settled.

Hi, welcome to the forum.

good that you are getting help from a therapist.

Nice to meet you ChavInAHat.

There are lots of good listeners here at Psych Central ....we're a pretty good bunch. Simply getting involved in the forums should help you find coping strategies and gain snippets of insight & advice.

I have been an active member of this site for around 2 years. In that time I have received some really constructive feedback and connected with several others with similar challenges to myself. For those that feel alone, or simply wanting to reach out for a chat without judgement......this is the place. I have also found hanging out in the Games Forums to be a welcome distraction... a great way to have some well needed fun, and meet like minded others.

Be kind to yourself ChavInAHat, and welcome to P.C

Welcome aboard!
