Hi. I was so so glad when I found this forum, because I hoped I might get some advice (even though no one here is qualified to diagnose me in any way, I just want to know I'm not 'going mad').
I've been in and out of therapy since I was 7, ive got a laundry list of diagnosis including PTSD and BPD. I'm currently waiting to go back into therapy after a long long break, finally feeling ready at 25 to have trauma therapy. But I'm more and more convinced I have C-PTSD not PTSD. I never had a single trauma, I had multiple traumas, from multiple sources, spanning most of my late childhood and adolescence/teenage years. So what if my BPD diagnosis was wrong too, and it's all down to C-PTSD? I mentioned it to a doctor I saw and they said to mention it at the therapy group I was going to while I was waiting for therapy, the therapy group leaders said that was the doctors job.
I'm now not seeing either the therapy group (it ended and I'm back to being on a long waiting list) or the doctor (it was a terrible GP practice and I'm switching doctors) so I just feel lost and like I'm driving myself mad over this
I'm sorry, this was a much longer introduction than I intended! I've needed to get it out for so long. But anyway, I'm glad to be among people who understand
