Introduction Jen

Introduction Jen

Hi my name is Jen.

I have ptsd from a wrk place assult. 3 yrs ago in November.

I have multiple triggers, especially noise, rain on my car windscreen as the car window was smashed. I have regular EMDR psychology session.

TMS treatment inpatient service to help with depression and anxiety.

After the last 15 yrs of technically being my husband carer due to mental health, im now blancing both. Thankfully he needs very little assistance now and usually cares for me more.

Life has changed dramatically over this time. Im more alone than ever before.

Legal has started for wrk cover. This means going over the trauma again.

Currently i dont leave the house without husband. Unless medical appointments.

Re: Introduction Jen

Hi @Jeanette and welcome to the Sane forums.

I also have ptsd, on work cover and done inpatient TMS

It sounds like you have a lot on your plate and going through a lot at the moment. It is great to see that you have some support in place with a psychologist.

I hope you find the support you are looking for on this forum. There are many members on here that have a MI and are carers too.

Just a note, if you would like to tag a member jut put a @ before their name.

Again, welcome 💜
