Hi. My name is happydandan. And I have Ptsd.
@happydandan. Hi. I have ptsd too. I'm here too talk to if you want. I get bad depression and anxiety with mine and sometimes I'm very sensitive to light and sounds. I usually get my worst anxiety in the morning and I don't sleep very good many nights. I kind of prefer night time because it's dark and not very many people out. I'm trying to learn how to deal with some of my problems but live alone now and am really struggling. How are you doing?
@wittyTree8219 can you im me?
@happydandan I'm new here. What does im. mean I have to ask?
@wittyTree8219 that is alright welcome ok so im is when you message me at my listener acct. Ok so you see the connect to listeners now then below that is browse for listeners click that one and type in happydandan then scroll down abd you'll see sort by click that then click screenname. Mine should pop up. It says I'm busy but really you can still talk to me.
@wittyTree8219 I think what DanDan meant was about sending a personal message. If you wish to speak to a listener you can browse listeners, find someone you feel can support you with the issues you wish to chat about and send a message to ask if they would be available to take on a new member or available to chat. Try and find a listener you feel is experienced in Trauma and PTSD issues, so that you get the most appropriate support possible. There are also listeners on the Trauma Community who may have availability to chat one to one. Take care Trees
@wittyTree8219 I can't search for you.
@wittyTree8219 can you meet at member community room?
@happydandan well I'm new and still haven't quite figured everything out yet lol let me see what I can do
@happydandan I'm lost. Idk what I'm doing. I don't know how to put a profile pic on and don't know where that is. I feel like I've looked at everything. 😐😐
@wittyTree8219 I know how you feel. I do. I just am trying everything I know how to find you.
@wittyTree8219 Hey Witty, if you need any help with things like that dont hestitate to ask someone within the trauma team who would be only to happy to help where they can:)
Hi there,
I'm new, still trying to find my way round.
I don't want to belong here, but I do.
I just want to hide from everything. I don't want any more hurt but I want to learn how to live. I can't keep hiding anymore. So I thought that joining a community like this might be a stepping stone to achieving that.
Thx for reading xxxx

Hello, and a warm welcome to you.
I hear you when you say you don't want to belong here - the sort of experiences that bring us to a trauma community aren't the sort you would ever wish to have happened to you or anyone else. But you know what, this is a lovely community of people - warm, supportive, understanding. Hopefully you can find the stepping stones you need.
Just to highlight too, we gave a daily check in thread. You don't have to check in daily, you don't have to contribute at all if you don't want. But it's a well used resource, and it may just help you feel less alone with how you feel. You can find it here
@indigoVillage2217 Hi Indigo, I know that feel of wishing you didn't belong here :( But we're here to support you with the help you wish you didn't need for the feelings you wish you didn't have. I find our biggest strength here is empathy... we've all been through similar feelings and experiences. For every negative feeling you have, someone here GETS IT. You are not alone anymore 
@dancingRainbow45 Hey all, I am a listener that has had personal experience with trauma and I understand it well, if you ever need to chat im here:)
