Just starting the journey of PTSD, anxiety and depression. Got the diagnosis which was a surprise to me but not really to those that know me (unsurprisingly)
I'm not afraid, more bemused, I think. I'm NORMAL!.........WHO KNEW?
For years I've been seeing the stickers, you know the ones,,
ITS OK NOT TO BE OK
IT AINT WEEK TO SPEAK etc.
I know now that it's fairly common, normal even to be like we are, but as I said, it came as a surprise to me.
Don't be afraid to speak out-you don't have to go into detail (most of us have things fairly well placed in their lockers but things can slip out occasionally)
YOU ARE ENOUGH
