duck Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 A friend of mine who knows me well told me I have complex trauma. I am wondering if anyone can relate. Many events in my life has caused me to become ill. He wants me to see a therapist who specializes in this area. He know one who he sees regularly and he can ask her to see me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Of course I can relate. I have had symptoms of PTSD since childhood where unbelievably horrible things happened and it's been one awful thing after another ever since. I will always believe terrible people are the reason I'm sick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womanofthelight Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I say this not to minimize your feelings and perceptions, but I believe the whole country is in a state of PTSD. Those who have trauma around the past may have even deeper wounds and be more vulnerable to not only their own pain, but the double whammy of emotional instability with what's going on in the world. I'm grateful to have found you all, and that we're here to help one another. PM me if you want to talk one on one; if not, I will "follow" you through regular channels.

One snow a couple of weeks ago, minimal cold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyl Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I was diagnosed with complex PTSD a year or so ago. I have multiple traumas and am retraumatized over and over again. There are some great forums that deal with it and also have sections for depression and anxiety, etc... If you're interested, pm me and I'll give you the info! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
