As a 22-year-old man, I never thought I would be seeking therapy for PTSD. But here I am, trying to navigate this new journey towards healing. It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions, and there are days when I feel like giving up. However, I’ve also had moments of clarity and hope, where I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. This new therapy has brought out a mix of fear and excitement within me, but I’m trying to stay positive and open-minded about the process. I know it won’t be easy, but I’m willing to put in the work to overcome my struggles. I’m thankful for the support I’ve received from family and friends, and for the resources provided by this community. I know I’m not alone in this, and that gives me strength to keep moving forward.
