Good afternoon.
While surfing the net I happened upon a definition of PTSD. With that definition came a new designation CPTSD which I had never heard of. I read it and realized that someone actually, and finally found a label, which defined/defines my 60 years of experiences. I have analyzed my experiences and honestly cannot claim to have overcome. I say that because I never know what tomorrow may bring, only that I know what yesterday dealt me. It is said that only hindsight has perfect vision and with age comes wisdom. Nevertheless tomorrow always has a measure of anxiety. I wish I could break out of that fog but if I knew how, I'd have done it.
Since I do not know how this forum functions, or who may be reading it, I will be cautious. I will be real, and if I offend, or trigger any traumas, I will leave.
I am female. Age 60. Born into abuse, married into abuse. My normal was in constant flux. Normal is an unknown.
Lets see how this goes
