New to OOTS

[1959 CPTSD SURVIVOR]

Hello. I'm new here and leery of sharing too much. I am a mature woman living with C-PTSD resulting from long-term abuse. I've been told I isolate too much, so I'm trying to reach out to others who may understand and want to talk. Anybody out there?

A warm welcome to OOTS!

I know how difficult reaching out can feel, especially when isolation has become familiar. There is no pressure to share more than you are comfortable with, or before you are ready.

I'm glad you found us.

Hey Survivor, hi and a warm welcome to Out of the Storm! 

There are lots of us here who get it so hopefully you will feel less and less leery about posting as you settle in.
