No, although it may seem from the lack of PTSD posts on this site that we are alone, none of us are.


Sammie, have you sought therapy for your PTSD? I would not be here without therapy and grief counseling. Even after 3 years of intensive counseling, sometimes I get the suicidal thoughts and the feelings of not being safe. I've learned that the worse the trauma, the more the toll on the body.


Have either of you read The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk? It's one of the best books I've read on PTSD. It explains why so much of our problems manifest themselves in physical symptoms.


I also PM'd you ladies.
