I was officially diagnosed with PTSD today. I don't need to be on meds just counseling.

Most of my symptoms are "light". I meet the requirements for the diagnosis though.

I am going to be navigating emotional regulation and healing from a good place mentally.

Something kinda snapped me out on April 2nd.

My husband of 22yrs told me he wanted to leave me and our six children. My symptoms had broken him. He truly did not like me anymore and had met someone "so easy to be with".

My mind was clear for the first time in 2yrs. (Catalyst insident with my parents). We have been able to speak for many hours over the last 20 days. We have gotten to a place where he wants to stay. We want to fix what we broke.

Counseling is hard and I have only had two sessions. I am going to keep on going though. I owe to myself and my children.

So if you are reading this and haven't gone to get help PLEASE go get help. You are so worth it. The world needs you.
