Sufferer New Here

[Artytree]

Hi, I was diagnosed with complex ptsd six years ago. My therapist I had on and off for four of those years was great and consistent it was only due to restrictions of only having twelve sessions a time that we had to have breaks. But unfortunately during one of these breaks, he's been put in a completely different area and I don't drive. I was allocated a new therapist whom I met twice in May this year, for the first time since being diagnosed I've been told I'm allowed intensive therapy for as long as I need it! This therapist had three weeks annual leave after our second meeting then kept cancelling appointments or making ones without consulting with me first to make sure I'm free, so I've been left without any therapy or support since May. It's now August, one of the most difficult times of year for me and I've still got no support. I've requested a new therapist so who knows how long I'll be waiting for a new one. I'm meant to be doing work for a college course but I feel that low I struggle to get out of bed, but my son is the reason I do. I'm absolutely vile and impossible to live with and desperately searching for people who understand. There are no support groups where I live, I have no friends I can rely on as such and the family I do have local is my dad who is part of the reason I have this, an my other family and friends live elsewhere. I'm trying to help myself and trying to better my life for myself and my children, but i keep coming up against obstacles or dead ends. I'm on my knees I just don't know what to do. My gp is OK but she's even put blockers on me moving forward with my life. I just need help/guidance and support.

Welcome to the forums :hug: I hope this spot helps you. It's extremely valuable as a result of the mass measure of individuals who feel comparative and understand eachother. There is a great deal of counsel and backing to be found here :) I trust this stunning group helps you as much as it helped me, reading all the similar stories, and taking in a lot of support along the way. Hugs in the event that you accept :hug:

Thank you so much. Im easing myself into the site. I've found it strangely comforting to know I'm not the only one feeling and experiencing all these things associated with Pstd. I don't feel so much like I'm losing my grip on reality anymore.
I am giving you a hug in return :hug: thank you.

Welcome to the forum. I'm not a regular poster but I do like to read things that I can relate to. I find others that speak my lingo to be so helpful. I didn't know that existed! I have 1 other amazing support person, but she doesn't have PTSD. I think if you read some of the many threads, you'll find a lot of support. Without a therapist at the moment, you may find some really good coping techniques that will help you a lot.

Yes, this is a safe site. Welcome aboard!

It may seem useless, undo able, unattainable, but hang in there. Even if you have to take things one week, one day, one hour, one moment at a time, that's ok; as long as you keep moving forward. Try to stay positive that this trying time will pass and things will get easier.
