New to PTSD, looking for friends

Me too I have PTSD. Got it from the navy. I was raped, sexually harassed. It was bad. Then getting out of the navy of course all the symptoms show up. Went to civilian doctor ( don’t trust VA PERIOD) and am on trintellex . Helps with nightmare from my past etc. What’s EMDR? That sounds interesting?

I second the EMDR. That worked wonders with me.

I have ptsd due to so abuse as a child. EMDR worked wonders for my flashbacks and nightmares. even lessened triggers

I have PTSD because of an abusive EX. It's manageable some days, others It's horrible. Just keep your triggers in mind everyday and try to avoid them if possible.

Can. We be friends

I'm here. It's hard when first diagnosed, but rest assured that you are not alone. Just ask and we will try to help and point you in the right direction. I have it too.
