Dealing with PTSD from the National Institute of Mental Health has been a difficult road, but as a 48-year-old woman, I refuse to let it define me. It’s been a tough battle, but I’ve found solace in therapy and support groups. Surrounding myself with people who understand and care has made all the difference. Some days are harder than others, but I’ve learned to celebrate even the smallest victories. It’s important to remember that healing is not linear, and it’s okay to not be okay sometimes. I’ve also found that volunteering and helping others has given my life new purpose and helped me feel empowered. If you’re struggling with PTSD, know that you’re not alone and that there’s hope for a brighter future. We’re in this together.
