Re: starting again...or trying to

[Guest guest]

Hello Jen,

I am glad that you decide to try again. I too have PTSD for years since I was a

kid for another altogether different reasons. Not something I would share in

this group. However, as for you can talk about anything include what's bother

you so much whether it's the foods or other among things.

This group has help me to recoup what I have once forgot long time ago before I

lost my IE due to other reason. Though feel free talk and if you want to talk.

I am here on yahoo messeneger at anytime you can just said hey or anything.
