Why I Have Been M.I.A

Those who are closest to me know I have PTSD.  I won't go into detail as to why I developed PTSD, it's very difficult and sensitive to talk about.  Therapy has helped me work through the trauma I experienced and medication has helped with my PTSD symptoms, but sometimes, these symptoms come roaring back.  I needed to take a break...from work, from chat, and from anything stressful and focus on myself.  My therapist and doctor have worked together to prescribe new medications for my PTSD and I am back to seeing my therapist weekly.  My mental health is important to me and putting myself first was a must.  I have a great support system and I am now back to feeling like my usual self.  Putting yourself and your mental health first isn't selfish...it's necessary.
