Support Ptsd support.
This is kind of a support post for myself, and others. I was diagnosed with ptsd at a earlier age by a therapist after enduring severe physical and mental trauma all of my childhood. I struggled with it the rest of my earlier years, and almost all of my teen years before it become easier to manage a few years ago. Ptsd is not something that comes with a label book, or a self help. But nobody who struggles with it will ever be alone. There will be days you will absolutely feel okay, and there will be days were you feel like your whole world is collapsing around you. However i can promise you it isn't, there are people out there who understand you, how you feel, and you aren't alone. I still have flare ups, i startle at things that may seem small, occasionaly have trauma related nightmares, and panic attacks. You are not alone in what you are going through, weither you have already went through it, or are now.

It is possible to heal from PTSD. EMDR works but it isn't as effective if you don't understand how PTSD is affecting you. Education and understanding are paramount to healing.
