Ps reached out to a potential new T as recognise I'm spiralling right now. Could do without the expense but it's my only option right now.

Thanks for replies guys. It is a relief to know that someone out there gets it. Xx

Hello. I'm new here and really hoping that joining this community will help me to feel less alone. I was diagnosed with CPTSD two weeks ago, although I had suspected for a while before that. My diagnosis came at the end of 2 years of therapy (amazing time- obut this therapist has now retired!) during which time I'd finally been open about the events of my childhood and allowed myself to FEEL. The only problem with that last bit is also feelings the uncomfortable feelings, which having been frozen for so long, can sometimes get out of control.
My diagnosis came after a meeting with a psych that took me 2 years to fight for. He diagnosed, made one meds suggestion and then announced my discharge from the team. With online CBT to do.  Which I can't do cos I have the concentration span of a gnat.
So now I have a diagnosis but no help in place. And self help alone is not working.  I really miss my counsellor. It all feels rather hopeless.
I've never met anyone (except my sister) with CPTSD, so looking forward to getting to know people on here.
