Recognizing and accepting that I may have PTSD has been a tough but important step for me. It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions, from denial to fear to finally making the decision to seek help. I’ve been haunted by the symptoms for a while, but I’m slowly realizing that it’s okay to not be okay and that getting help doesn’t make me weak. I’m grateful for the support of my friends and family, and I’m hopeful that with therapy and time, I can learn to manage my symptoms and live a fulfilling life. To anyone else struggling with PTSD, you’re not alone, and it’s okay to ask for help.
