You can always get help. Therapists will not judge you for waiting to get help. Better late than never, right?

No! It's definitely not too late. Especially if you're having symptoms of PTSD or simply recurring or disturbing thoughts about the trauma, you should definitely consider treatment. There is NO time limit on recovery, and admitting that you might need some extra help every once in awhile is a great first step!

No! It's not too late at all to get help, and overall it's really brave of you to seek/obtain help! I've been through a traumatic experience and I still am too afraid to get help for it, so being willing to put yourself in that position is really courageous of you:)

You can always get help! It's never too late! Don't tell yourself that it's too late if you still struggle. No one will judge you if they truly care about you and want to help you.

It is not too late. You can still get help. It was decades before i sought help, and i have made some really good strides forward in healing from the past. Don't get me wrong, it still is a lot to work through, but YES, you can get help.

You can still get help. Try asking a doctor, therapist or school counsellor for help. Also try to reach help from friends

Hello there. I hear that you are still being affected by a traumatic event that happened many years ago. It is never too late to get support and achieve further healing from a traumatic event no matter how long ago it was. Trauma does not leave your brain's memory. Traumatic events and the pain caused by them will be with you for life, however it is possible to learn new skills and develop tools for yourself to manage the trauma when you feel yourself triggered. A licensed therapist specializing in the area of trauma you experienced would be a great start to learning new and better ways to manage past trauma when you notice it beginning to surface for you. I hope this helps. I will continue to be here to listen if you would like to chat more.
