Like many of us in the community, as a child and young adult, I underwent many, many surgical procedures in an effort to improve my physical situation. PTSD was not in my vocabulary or that of the medical professionals that interacted with me.

This article touches upon feelings that I am familiar with but had no name for at the time.

    I suffer with this quite bad . It’s all related to what I went through as a child at school and being in hospital lots of times

    Have you spoken with anybody about how you feel, @Molliepw96? It helps to talk about experiences and bring them into the light.

    @Libby_Scope, I'm sorry you had to endure this.
