um, i'm not sure what to write or say....
.

i went thru a traumatic situation/experience earlier this week. it was something 'new to me', as i am aware of what ptsd is from other events.
i don't want to think about it. i badly want to just forget it. all i want to do is just sleep. i haven't told anyone yet. i know i'm not 'okay'.
honestly, the image now burned in my brain is not something i can un-see!
i'm just trying to get thru each day. beyond that, idk

Welcome! I'm sorry you have gone through something very traumatic. Do you have a therapist or even a friend you can tell and lean on?

It sucks to constantly be reliving the event. Everyone here has some issue. Even things I've put aside and don't think about much that happened years ago will play in my mind, and it's hard.

Everyone here understands

I'm sorry on your behalf. Hope this calms down soon.

Kind regards
