hello guys ! i am new here ,

i just want to know if i actually have complex ptsd

i suffered from emotional abuse from my parents for like 5 years because i refused to study medicine which was their dream , it was a petty reason and that is why i was so shocked , i noticed how they changed he way they treat me and it hurt me a lot , i spent a lot of times alone , they were neglecting me never cared to ask , sometimes my dad hit me , slapped me , so i can say there was physical abuse as well ,

i have ocd , i knew that 4 years ago and because they were never supportive to me , i kept that to myself i was suffering in silence , i guess it is the trauma that triggered my ocd , after they knew about ocd because of my cleaning rituals they ere not there for me , they mocked me and hit me and told me i was crazy , asked me to stop it like it was my choice ,

i can't live with them , every single day i remember their actions towards me , i can't forget and can't forgive them , no matter what they try to do now , i know they fake it just because they want me to get rid of the ocd ! but i don't believe or trust them anymore , i know they do that just for ocd , they still don't admit that they hurt me they keep saying that i am the one who is too sensitive ,

i don't know what to do , i have panic attacks when i remember the way they treated me , now i am having a panic attack while writing this post , i lost a lot of friends i just distance myself for no reason , i want to be alone , like i don't trust a single person

i read that if you have ptsd you should face the trauma , i am facing them everyday already and i am not feeling better towards them , i take medications that just make me forget for a while but i still can't trust them they hurt me a lot !

Your post had a lot to it and I'm only able to break it down a little right now. First, we can't tell you if you have complex ptsd- it sounds like it could be possible given the extent of your trauma (long term, multiple trauma). I'm really sorry you had to go through all that. I know it's pretty common to have dual diagnoses (ptsd and ocd). Also, "facing the trauma" means radically different things to different people. Some people piece it all out and discuss every last detail and some people focus on the emotional aspect of their trauma and talk very little about what actually happened. Everyone, ptsd or no ptsd, has a process of coming to terms with their trauma that is radically different than everyone else. This is your journey and you get to decide how you will move forward. My personal path has been therapy and soon, medication. I hope you find what you're looking for here.

Welcome Kenziii! I think a therapist should diagnose and treat ptsd but I can tell you that I have been diagnosed and a lot of that sounds the same as my symptoms. I think you will find this site helpful. Glad you are here!
 
Hi Kenziii,

Welcome to the forums.

I'm not sure if therapists are available to you, or trauma care, so wanted to say regardless of the trauma, complex or 'simple', the tools to heal from it remain the same - and you can well explore them, and have come to the right place for assistance. :)
