Hi all,
I am 30yo woman with a diagnose of cPTSD.

To summarize, 2 years ago I touched THE bottom and took a sick leave and I've started therapy.

Unfortunately due to the system I had to change therapists many time and the last one, who I have been working for the last year, has just closed suddenly her practice.

I am now again, seeking for a new therapist (Nr 9) and also facing some struggle at work (due to my sick leave isn't clear if I can get an extension or I have to find a new job in a couple of months).

All this lack of reference points and control is triggering my dissociation, numbness, what I call "Netflix brainwashing" and sudden cries.

I feel so expose and with no protection and I am struggling so much to check the basics(eating,moving, sleeping). I know I have improved a lot and I have people who care about me but when my PTSD is so present I feel so lonely and lost again. I always have to fight so much for everything and is exhausting.

So here I am writing, hoping to find some understanding from people who knows how hard is to live with PTSD. I have searched for a community here where I live but unfortunately I couldn't find one and in this moment it makes me feel even more like a ghost.
 
Welcome! Nothing quite like this place for support and understanding. If we have to do this journey it is sure is wonderful to have other people knowing what we are talking about especially when we are first starting out.

Glad you found us. Now you are part of 'us'.

One of my very first posts on this site was exactly on this point. You’re certainly not alone.
