Why have I lost trust? It's really not about losing it but about self-preservation. I am very upfront with the fact - I have PTSD triggered by a doctor in Dec. 2003 but complicated with a very dysfunctional childhood - And life goes on

I started getting involved with MS forums in Dec. 2004. I felt I might be able to help others with MS and I needed something to take the focus off the PTSD and everything surrounding it. Trying to help others did that for me.

And, it sounds like helping others might be how you help yourself

I can't imagine you losing your friends, they are lucky to have someone so caring in their life.
