Hello Gang!
OOTF member who has been diagnosis with PTSD (several times) :yeahthat:
Read and have met Peter Walker (long ago) in Bay Area.
Recovery rolling along well with self regulation and awesome support at another site. Thought I pop in to learn and share.
Dealing with an ear disease that triggered PTSD about 10 months back and have had childhood- ect trauma.
Looking forward to meeting you all. :hug:'s if you accept them.
Wish there were like buttons to hit underneath a post as I would toggle it for all of your warm greetings! :thumbup: :party:
