Foggy, I am glad you found this site.  Making that first post can be challenging.  I was a nervous wreck when I was trying to make my first post here.  And I still find it takes a certain amount of courage every time I post even the tiniest message.  But it has gotten easier over the months, and it has even become rewarding to be a part of this warm and supportive group of people seeking a safe place to share parts of our lives that we usually have to hide.

I am so sorry about the "atom bomb" event in your life.  It sounds quite devastating.  I hope you will keep coming back to the site and will eventually be able to share more details with us.

All the best to you and lots of hugs.

Thinking of you, foggy.  So glad to see you are still here.

I hope you are looking around the site, finding things to read that might give you some comfort.  I also like reading in a book by Pete Walker, "CPTSD From surviving to thriving."  It is full of helpful information, and also compassion.

Please take care of yourself.  You deserve to be well cared-for.
