Thank you, Three Roses. I havent heard of cpstd until recently!
Thank you for understanding. Although I don't feel too great at the moment, I'm glad to have found this fourm.

Hi friends. I am new to this website as well as this illness(?)
I havent been diagnosed with cptsd, but I have with GAD, Major Depression and Panic disorder. Ive been told my childhood was traumatic and that i was traumatized by it (my psychiatrist and therapist told me this after I described some of my childhood to them)
Im not sure why I'm so confused about being told that Im traumatized... Is that normal?
Anyways, I have been researching trauma and such and have found cptsd. I feel like I relate to some of these symptoms and situations... But I dont feel like Id qualify for a diagnosis? I feel like my experiences weren't traumatic enough. I didnt experience sexual or physical abuse at all, but did have a dysfunctional family life and emotional abuse growing up.
Right now I feel very disconnected from the world and constantly worry about having to continue the rest of my life dealing with this.
Sorry this is all over the place. Im kinda numb and confused right now. I guess Im wondering if anyone else has felt this way... Also hoping it's ok to be on here even tho I havent been officially diagnosed.. Thanks
