Undiagnosed Hello all.

[Icantdeal]

Hello all.
I chose the name Icantdeal because I'm too tired to be creative right now, and because it feels like I can't deal with my trauma at the moment.

I don't have a ptsd diagnosis, and I refuse to self-diagnose, but a person on another forum referred me to this place.
I could really use someone to talk to who understands what I'm going through, and who doesn't just feed me the standard phrases.
I'm going to post about my trauma in the appropriate sub-forum, and I'm going to try to introduce myself here.

I'm scandinavian, I'm studying to be a care worker, I love cats, and I have been successfully working on structuring my life and reducing my stress.

Hi, nice to meet you all :)
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Welcome to the forums. What brings you here?

A person I talk to on another forum suggested I post here.
I was abused as a teenager, and I'm having one of those sleepless nights where the self-blame is getting to me. I rarely think about it anymore, but when I do, I can't stop.

I'm typing up the thread about it to post in the subforum as we speak.

Nice to meet you, by the way :)

Thanks :)

I did therapy for almost a year to try and cope with it, but my therapist spent most of my free sessions trying to make sure I wasn't kidding myself about my gender preference.
I guess it's important I get that sorted out too, but I was there for the trauma, not my sexuality.

I don't have any more free sessions, and I don't have the money to pay for a therapist myself, at thw moment.
