I have PTSD and I am getting help for it. Since 2019, I had a feeling that I could possibly be suffering from PTSD. It was not until last year that more signs made things clearer for me.
I have always known about PTSD, I have just never experienced it at any point in my life up until now. What I have learned recently is that it often does not just go away, no matter how motivated you are in finding a way to cope with it on your own.
It is a daily battle. Some days are better, others are worse. But every single day is a continuous challenge living with PTSD, just like both depression and anxiety were. Having gone through all three now in my life, over time I have started to see the challenges that come primarily from PTSD.
As much as I tried to keep myself distracted by just carrying on with a busy lifestyle over the past couple of years (which is the exact same way that I used to overcome depression), unfortunately it did not help this cause, it only lingered it. This is where I am starting to see just how different PTSD is.
All I know is when I discover the best way for me to overcome this disorder, I want to help others who are battling PTSD to do the exact same and help them find their way in overcoming this disorder.
