Hi there,
I'm new to this forum and CPTSD. I had previously never thought I had suffered from trauma never-mind CPTDS. A recent diagnosis of PTSD in a very close family member is what started me on my research journey that has led me here and to the belief that I may have CPTSD. What I've read so far certainly makes particular things/feeling/reactions/struggles that I have dealt with in life make complete sense to me now. I'm astonished to say the least. 
I may share more later once I've come to terms with this but for now I am soaking up all of the knowledge I can about C/PTSD in order to help my family member and possibly help myself along the way as well.
Thanks for having me!

Yes I felt similar - the identification and connection was / is so empowering and I've learnt so much being here 
Wishing you all the best on the start of your recovery 
			
			
			
				I am new here as well. I just received a diagnosis of C-PTSD last Wednesday after 24 years of other diagnoses. I look forward to sharing with you and other members here, and reading what you have to share and contribute!
