Title: Hello
Post by: lynnlilac on April 19, 2019, 12:50:22 AM
I wanted to join a community for people with CPTSD, as my therapist diagnosed me with it last year, and I haven't really done anything about it until now. Well, things piled up and eventually I couldn't suppress my feelings about what happened when I was a kid any more.

I probably won't be on much, because it's really scary for me to deal with these parts of my past, but I'm going to try to make an effort.

Hi lynnlilac, welcome. Feel free to use the forum whenever and however works best for you.

I wanted to second Boatsetsailrose - I've found it to be a very safe place here.

Sharing through a screen seems to make it easier than face to face, but as it's with real people it feels so supportive.
