Hi All
I have diagnosed with CPTSD just a few weeks ago. I start trauma-based therapy in January. I was diagnosed with Severe thought based OCD 4 years ago and they say I have had these conditions for around 40 years. It stuns me I was never diagnosed. I tried to take my own life in 1988 but was thankfully saved. TheCrisis team asked me if I was going to try it again and dismissed me after I said NO!
Under severe stress I have turned to gambling online. They say I do it to escape reality. It has ruined my marriage and i feel cheated out of my life at times. I want to live a better life and I am fully committed to the therapy I will be starting soon. I know it will not be easy and will take time, but I am finally on the right track.
OK, not wanting to waffle on too much.
