New Here - Interested in Participating in the Group on FRidays
Hi
I am new to this community and would like to participate in the Support Chat about Trauma on Fridays.
I am an abuse survivor who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). For a long period, I carried it quietly while maintaining a high level of competence. From the outside, I appeared capable and controlled. On the inside, I was constantly alert, restless, and on edge.
Certain surroundings or tones that are conflicting can cause a physical stress response in me. My body reacts before my head has time to process what is happening. I'm learning that this isn't a weakness. It is an intelligence system that developed to survive.

Welcome 🤗
Thank you for being brave enough to open up and share.
I'm sorry for all you have been through.
And I hope you find the support and safe space here that you are looking for 💚
@JerseyGirl55305 I'm not sure that Friday evening's chat still happens. But I do know that the room is usually open on Sundays
@mytwistedsoul Unfortunately I am no longer able to host the Friday support chats :(. I don't think we've been able to find a replacement host. So sorry!
@WillingToHelpU No apology necessary! Thank you for letting us know! I don't think a replacement has been found either. Although they're still listed on the community calendar.
@mytwistedsoul
thank you! I will remove it from the calendar for now.
@Heather225 You're welcome and thank you!
