Hi Lisa, and welcome. Good on you for coming online and checking out the BB Forums. As you have posted to this particular section (PTSD and Trauma) then I am guessing that you have experienced some form of trauma and possibly have PTSD as a result. PTSD is one of a number of disorders within the anxiety spectrum.
When you are ready, I hope you will come back here and tell us more about yourself and give us an indication of how we can help you. I want to reassure you that this site is secure and monitored to maintain your anonymity and safety. So you can speak freely and honestly about anything that is troubling you. Sometimes it really helps to talk openly about things in an anonymous space.
I have been diagnosed with PTSD and have severe anxiety and frequent depression as a result. So I understand what you may be going through. And there are many others here who do too. You will find that members are very helpful, knowledgable, non-judgemental and extremely supportive. As you would expect from us, your fellow peers, who are all battling our own mental health issues.
As you are currently only checking us out, I would suggest you have a browse of some of the existing threads in the PTSD & Trauma section as well as the Anxiety section. This will give you a bit of an idea of what to expect.
Beyond Blue also have a great resources where you can read the sections that you are wanting to know more about. Check out Anxiety under "The Facts" heading below.
Lisa, I hope you like what you see here on the BB Forums, and decide to come back and post again. Tell us more, so we can do our best to guide and support you.
Taurus
