My name is Rebecca and I am a 40 year old Female. 

I suffered from physical, emotional and sexual abuse through most of my childhood and have dealt not only with PTSD but depression, eating disorders, self injury and bi-polar II disorder. I've been on medications for depression but am not at this time. I take Neurontin for the bi-polar and it also has been helpful with some of the anxiety.
PTSD can be so hard to deal with, I know. There were times in the past when I had no idea how I could function anymore. But I have found that through good self care, such as nutrition, mild exercise and relaxation techniques, I have been able to get a handle on this disorder. It's also been helpful to have a good support network of friends, family and therapist. Personally, I've also found that a good spiritual foundation has helped tremendously.
I am a writer, artist, Mom and wife and I feel a great fulfillment in helping and supporting others.
