Hello! I'm new to this forum. I live in Melbourne and have been battling complex PTSD for some years now - even battling to get a diagnosis! I searched the internet for what was wrong with me and found all my symptoms under complex PTSD. I really wanted to get better. I mentioned to my doctor that that's what I thought I had and he said, "Yes, you probably do." But that was it, apart from another prescription of antidepressants. Is there any hope of getting better, or is it better to just accept that things have changed and will never be the same again? I miss being able to trust other people. I miss intimacy. I hate the constant underlying fear inside of me! So anyway, I was just wondering if this support group ever worked out, or if you know of any good doctors or therapists who can actually help with this? I feel like time just keeps on going by and I get more and more reclusive and frightened.
I often think of trying to find an easy way out of this life but I don't want to hurt the people around me. But that feels so frustrating as I am often hurt by the same people as nobody really seems to understand. People question my feelings, or criticise my attempts to get better. Nobody listens!!! It's as if other people thing it would be so easy to just snap out of it! If only they knew how much I wish that was true.
oops I'm raving - sorry. I really just wanted to find out if there's anyone out there that can help with this!
