Is there anybody our there?

Hickury — Fri, 31 May 2024 12:59:07 GMT

Hi there,

I suffer from PTSD and it has come with a side of depression, anxiety. I am also a very well functioning adult/professional, but sometimes I really feel I need someone to talk to, but someone who understand how it feels to be like me. If you know, you know, and if you do, wanna chat?

Thanks!

Hi Hickury,

From one well functioning adult professional to another, I too suffer from PTSD.

I am managing to cope and keep it to myself most of the time.

Hi Hickury.

I started a separation from a 30 yr marriage about this time last year. I felt very isolated and needed connection with people. I attended an online Men's group which has turned out to be one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had the pleasure of being involved in. It is amazing how listening too and sharing e life experiences in a safe place can have on my outlook for the week. I have made some very good friends who give and receive support both inside and outside the group.

Maybe you could give something like this a try.

It's been life changing for me.

Hi there, thank you for your post. I am also a high functioning professional and am truly struggling at the moment. I am a business owner and things have slowed considerably. I have recently escaped from a very bad relationship and am feeling so much pressure.

I have two children to care and pay for, I am trying to prop up and direct the business and trying to heal and be well.

I understand how you feel, please know that there are other people like you and people that understand how you feel.
