Have you ever felt past the point of healing...

Or hopeless that you can ever feel worthy of love or joy?

But.....you somehow found a way ??

I really need some shred of hope. I am so panicked about dating, because when you have crippling PTSD, you really don't feel like you're offering a prize package to anyone 🙁 You feel terrified that you couldn't be truly worthy of love, because who would stay with someone who has multiple issues or really can't do a lot socially?
If anyone has a positive story I'd be grateful. 🌺

I know a girl whom I'll call her Suzanne who is slowly - and I mean slowly - coming out of her shell and dating. She's only done two last year and is working on one for October. She has a lovely personality and a disarming smile but is extremely concerned no one will love her due to what she calls her list of issues. Speaking to her last month she furrowed her brow and said in a semi-jocular tone "I'm tired of looking at my walls! By gosh I'm going to go on another date before this year is over!"

@onrealityofdreams She sounds like me for sure. What is her age, approximately? I'm so glad she's slowly starting!!

@Coralmist It's impolite to ask a lady her age but I do know she's in her late '30s.
