Hi,
I'm new to the forum. I've been in therapy on and off for several years. I was diagnosed with PTSD @ 19 y/o. For the past 3 months I started seeing a Psychologist who specializes in trauma. She diagnosed me with PTSD and dissociative disorder NOS, I've been struggling with the new diagnosis. My protectors are working so hard to protect me, they are totally unaware that I'm a grown women and the trauma is no longer happening to me. I am experiencing flashbacks, nightmares and there is an internal war with my parts. I have a hard time being intimate with my partner and I feel so alone. It was suggested for me to find support, I'm glad I came across this forum. I want to be free, comfortable in my own skin, able to get a good nights rest and have friends w/o feeling like I have to constantly protect myself. There is so much more that I want to say, but for now I think this is a good start.
