Hi from Canada

[Ruby]

Hi everyone,

I'm a university student from Canada.    Been looking around and decided to register.
This is a great resource with lots of helpful info and genuine support. Hope I can contribute in some ways and learn more from you. I just received Pete Walker's book in the mail the other day. It's a treasure! And thanks for recommending SFhelp.org. I am now ready to address my CPTSD.

My recovery journey began when I was 15. At that time, I was diagnosed with depression and hospitalized. Well, meds didn't really do much for me. Then I was treated for Generalized Anxiety Disorder(GAD). I have done some talk therapy, CBT, DBT, learned mindfulness meditation, attended some self-help workshops, worked a naturopathic doctor, and am finally coming to the realization that it is my CPTSD that is at the core of it all. I am happy I've found the real reason for my struggles and am hopeful about my recovery.

It is amazing how many resources are available on the internet. I have not found a therapist yet but am learning about CPTSD recovery online and find that very encouraging.
