Hi everyone, I’m a 23-year-old man who has recently been diagnosed with PTSD. It’s been a difficult process to finally understand why I’ve been struggling with certain things, but I’m also feeling a sense of relief that there’s a name for what I’ve been going through. I know that it’s going to be a tough road ahead, but I’m trying to focus on the fact that I now have a starting point to work from. I’m learning about different coping mechanisms and seeking out professional help, and I’m hopeful that things will get better. I think the first step in healing is acknowledging the issue, and I’m grateful for any support or advice that others can offer. Thank you for listening.
