    Hello

    I am a older individual who has faced multiple losses over a few years. I unfortunately have few friends or family for support. I have seen a psychiatrist and have had little success with antidepressents for my severe PTSD and anxiety. I feel it's getting worse since my doctor told me no more can be done. He's not one of the best in the city and I am seeking talk therapy. I have extreme night terrors, they happen as I wake up! Recurring theme nightmares that I am moving or have no place to stay. I have animals and love them very much. They are my saving grace. I like people, but, with my anxiety.. I sometimes can't get out.. of the house. I am a writer and illustrator... currrently unemployed but do my own creative work. I am happy to be in this forum and hope others will join my group (I started a group called 50+), as I join other groups. Thank you for letting me be here & creating a spot I can talk on... M.

    Hi and welcome to the forum! I am also over 50 and have PTSD with a few other things. Yes, flashbacks and nightmares suck.

    Even though the majority of the forum seems to be a bit younger than us, there never seems to be an age boundary. In fact, everyone here gets along very well and is very supportive of each other.

    So welcome again, and I hope to see you around the forum
