New to the group

[ScaredyKat]

Hi all. I am new to this group. I suffer from PTSD, high anxiety and low scale depression (terrible consuming thoughts but rarely followed up by not moving). After 20 years of managing it on my own going slowly down hill, I finally got help. I've been getting help now for 12 years. Best thing I ever did. Scared? Heck yeah. Depressed? Heck yeah. Suicidal - better every day since I started to get help and less hurting myself in general. I worked real hard and opened many emotional boxes I never thought I would. But now I'm starting to come out on the other side and wow... it's kind of neat and amazing. I'm scared of so many things and situations - but some of those I can now accomplish, others have disappeared, and others i am still working on. Its three steps forward and one step back every day. But I'm on my way. I thought a group like this would help me to remind me I am not alone as I am a bit of an isolationist and people don't talk about these kinds of issues enough.
