Hello everyone, I am a 53-year-old woman who is dealing with signs of traumatic stress disorder. Over the years, I have felt overwhelmed and disconnected from myself, constantly battling with intrusive thoughts and flashbacks. It has been a challenging journey, but I refuse to let it define me. I have started seeking help and exploring different coping mechanisms to manage my symptoms. I have found solace in mindfulness practices and therapy, and I am slowly starting to feel like myself again. I am sharing my story here in the hopes of connecting with others who may be going through something similar. Let’s support each other as we navigate through the healing process together.
