Hello everyone, I wanted to share my experience with finding peace and healing after being diagnosed with NAMI PTSD. It’s been a tough road, but I’ve finally found a good place in my life. With the support of my family, friends, and therapy, I have been able to cope with my symptoms and develop healthy coping mechanisms. I want to encourage anyone else going through a similar situation to know that it is possible to find peace and happiness again. It may seem impossible at times, but I promise you, with determination and support, you can get through this. I still have bad days, but I’ve also learned to appreciate the good days even more. Hang in there, and remember that you are not alone.
