Did you know PTSD is a real thing, not reserved for those in the military? Abuse and rape victims also experience PTSD. Its awful. The flashbacks, flinching, fear of being touched or scared. Sheer and utter panic shoots through you when you least expect it. Intimacy goes out the window. Even with help, and learning coping mechanisms it never really leaves you. Its pure hell inside your head. The nightmare never ends. Add depression and anxiety to the mix and your head is a dark place to live in. Its been a long time since I've written anything, so bear with me here. When my thoughts go wandering its difficult to stay focused. I guess my ultimate goal is to het things out, and also let others know they're not alone.
