Here's the thread to come and introduce yourself

Feel free to post threads to ask questions, or start conversations - caring for someone who's been through trauma is very intense and we don't have to struggle through it alone.

* There is a locked section to allow carers, family members and friends to off-load without the concern of their loved one reading their posts * (I insisted on this as I often find it hard to off-load for fear of causing my partner more distress) Please message me for access

Hi! I'm Jocelyn and I'm 24. My partner has post traumatic stress disorder and I've been supporting her through it for about 5 years. There's been bloody horrendous times and there's been lots of wonderful times! I'm looking forward to getting to know you guys
