I suffer from C-PTSD, anxiety and depression. I currently have a psychologist and psychiatrist for support. I am various types of medications. Have tried DBT, EMDR, ECT just to name a few.
I am married with 2 teenage children who are my world.
I struggle with everyday life and keep to myself a lot. I don't have any friends.

Even though I have a family, I feel so alone in my journey. I try not to burden them. In doing that I know I keep a lot of what is happening inside of me.
I really hope I can find others like me. It really is isolating. Just to talk to someone who understands me without me going into details would be really nice.
I am new to this forum as well. I suffer from anxiety and depression and see a psychiatrist, am currently on medication, have done the ect route and therapy and really have tried everything. I have two wonderful, beautiful teenagers, one with ASD, a wonderful husband, and…. I’m just tired and lonely.
