Title: Finally got the courage to post
Post by: Blue Bunny on January 19, 2019, 07:26:33 PM
I was diagnosed with Complex PTSD 2 years ago. I have since
spent many hours, online, reading up on it and feel relieved that all these weird symptoms I was experiencing had actual names .

It's a long road to recovery and I'm normally really positive but im struggling at the moment

I'm hoping to find some sense of belonging on this forum.

 Greetings, Blue Bunny :wave:.

Not only is reaching out a sign of courage, it's a part of the freedom to finally be the you you've felt like all along. It will seem awkward and strange, but for me that's kind of the essence of what it means to find a new way of being, where you're free to unlearn what was so wrong for so long ... until now!

Hi blue bunny
Yes i hear you ..recovery is always happening its just sometimes its more painful and i feel despondent..
Often asking myself what i need and being kind to myself are key. Also feeling my feelings cause i struggle with that ..
More difficult times i come through them and its good for me to remember that

Sending best wishes to you
