Fionalein Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I think there are, but please be careful whom you open up to on the internet. There is no way to control the qualifications of those helping, so you risk getting advise that will harm you more than it helps. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Jackman Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 There are tons if you use the search option for groups. Though, I'm not sure how active they are. Some I saw: PTSD Support Group. Main Chapter. -179 members ME/CFS Centre group- 121 members *Fearless Nation PTSD Support*- 97 members There was a lot more, but these were the top three with the most members. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance! There is also a place that deals with PTSD - and tries to show people how veterans with PTSD may feel after returning home. It has also a skybox to calm down, and offers lots of RL support phone numbers. Just look for PTSD in the "Places" search, you may find it there (if it still exists -- I wasn't there for a while, so I don't know for sure). ETA: I just was shortly in that Mall at CDP PTSD1, and it's very different to how it was a year or two ago when I visited that place last time. Obviously, it now works with "experiences", and I haven't found support call numbers or calming skyboxes.

Orwar Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I'd be wary of any groups, communities or venues that claim to offer any other support than that of being around people who have similar experiences. Wikipedia-therapists ought to be tarred and feathered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusanPoora Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) I am not a therapist or whatever, but I always see from others' POV and have empathy for them which makes them feel better. Im simply an empath who could lend you a non-judging ear and talk to you as a friend if you want, to make you feel better. Contact me inworld if you would love that, susanpoora. Take care.
