Dealing with Ptsd symptoms
ive suffered from ptsd from some abuse in the past. I'm 24 now and it feels like my situation will never improve. There are times when I feel better and more confidant but then something happens and I'm set back. I think the issue that bothers me the most is how lonely I feel. Given that the abuse was done to me by a family member, I don't trust anybody. I can't let anyone too close for the fear that they'll also hurt me. Just looking to vent and wondering if anybody else feels the same and wondering how anybody else deals with it.

Firstly, thank you for being so beautifully candid. That couldn't have been easy. You've been very brave 😊
PTSD is very traumatic - and can have knock on affects on how you live your life (i.e. having trust issues). Have you seen a professional about ways that you can combat this? You deserve a chance to live your best life.
Please take good care of yourself during these tough times. I'm here if you need to chat.
