Healing from the pain of childbirth

As a 43-year-old woman, I never thought that I would still be dealing with PTSD from the birth of my children. The flashbacks and anxiety attacks feel like they will never go away. It’s a constant struggle to find peace and to feel like myself again. I’ve tried therapy and medication, but sometimes it feels like nothing is working. However, I refuse to give up hope. I know that there are others out there who understand what I’m going through and who have found ways to heal. I want to believe that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and that I can overcome this pain. I’m grateful for this forum and the opportunity to connect with others who may be experiencing similar struggles. Together, I hope we can find strength and support to heal from our trauma and find peace in our lives once more.
