Hi NTWright,
Welcome to the forums and I'm glad that you decided to reach out.
I don't think there's any right way to start, but you're here, so that's worth something. You can share as much or as little as you like with us in whatever way feels comfortable.
Here's a link to our PTSD and Trauma section. There's some coping threads in there but a lot of offloading and talking about peoples experiences >
https://www.beyondblue.org.au/get-support/online-forums/ptsd-trauma
and our staying well section, which is a little more light-hearted >

Maybe if you read a post or two you might be able to join in or find someone to connect with.
Hope this helps and welcome again.
