Want Someone To Talk To...

I have Complex PTSD and hope to find a forum where I can talk to people who can relate. I don't want to say too much right now because people can be intolerant or insensitive. I'm not saying anyone here is but I don't like to share things right away is all. I don't have PTSD from personal abuse.
I don't relate to people without PTSD anymore. It's hard to talk to people. For now I'm not looking for anything deeper.

Hi,
My name is Holly, and I just so happen to be a psych nurse for many years. I am also a survivor of childhood sexual,physical, and emotional abuse. I to this day (and I'm 52) suffer at times from PTSD, and even through therapy I have learned coping skills, it still catches me off guard at times. You interest me, because you say you have had no trauma, and yet you have PTSD. I totally believe you, but I am wondering, what triggered your symptoms. There is help for PTSD....let me know a little about yourself if you feel comfortable.

^^ i also have complex-PTSD and i know it's really difficult to relate to people without it sometimes..
I've not found any intolerance on this site but i have on another one - hopefully you'll enjoy it here as well xx

It's been a while since you made this thread, so how are you doing with things now..?

I too have C-PTSD. Like angelofmercy, I suffered childhood sexual abuse and psychological, emotional, and neglect from my family. I am 47 and have only been seriously working on my issues for about a year and a half.

You are welcome here, no one should be intolerant and most of us will probably be able to identify.

Come back and talk to us.
