Title: Just wanted to say "hello"
Post by: sclarephae on February 16, 2020, 04:26:12 PM

Hello All,

I was diagnosed last year with CPTSD and everything finally made sense! I grew up with a narcissistic mother/alcoholic father/bullying brother. Yes, the aftershocks in my adult life were painful, but I had coping mechanisms (substance abuse, minimization, denial, depersonalization, maladaptive daydreaming). Once those fell away, I was left with the wreckage.

That is where I am right now. In my family of origin, secrets were the theme of the day...every day. No more.

I thank you all for being here and I am extending the utmost compassion to you all.
