I honestly feel like I'm crumbling, I don't know how I can keep this all up any longer. It's too much pressure and I feel like no matter how hard I try or how many opportunities I apply for, like internships etc, I'm still so behind and small compared to everyone else. I'm starting EMDR soon, so...

Academics in particular, I'm roughly less than a year out of a decade of very severe, extreme abuse, and overall, I am struggling a lot to focus. I've spoken to everyone and accessed all kinds of support, but I feel like there's no hope and honestly I feel scared and like a huge failure. The...

Hi everyone, I was just wondering how people handled CPTSD at University/ College, and whether anything has helped them? Thank you.

Hi all. I don't know what to say as honestly, I am completely and utterly exhausted. I fought extremely hard to get into a good college, especially one for my course. Having CPTSD after a 10 year horrific psychological and sexual torture, I've had to go through, with bullying in the last 2...

For me, I am coming to terms with my abuse and memories, so nowhere near ready to date yet, but by being in the forum I have observed people's partners with CPTSD comment and that made me curious- I thought no one would ever want to date me.

Same! I hope people comment because I have no idea how to get there

I do but it's not intense enough.

Just someone to talk to and understand me I think

Hi everyone, I've fallen I think into a really deep depression. It seems like no one I know understands me, or even wants to. I am so anxious and alone, and I feel as if I have no one. It feels so lonely having this condition and these memories that no one seems to understand at all.

I am doing my bachelors!! I do mathematics with a minor in economics. I guess my family is very traditional and strict, and being the first born of an immigrant household invites a lot of pressure on me on top of my trauma- me doing a non-traditional route would be very frowned upon by them- I...

They just said like that the list was long, and that essentially I need to wait? They haven't really said much other than me disclosing details isn't appropriate but I still need to attend everything and maintain my grades? That's kind of it. I don't know, really, I'm just 8 months out of my...

Hi! I've already consulted student services, they really haven't given me much, as well as my director and my doctor too. Everyone just says that I should try EMDR, which I am, but the waitlist is very long! Also, the break thing is more about the fact that my parents wouldn't want to accomodate...

Hello all, I am making this post because at some point in my life, I would like to date someone. With my condition and past, I am very nervous and apprehensive, which is why I'm in no state to date right now- however, I would like people to comment under this post if they have CPTSD or are...

Hi!! It's honestly so nice to hear that people like me are also in academia and at university, it makes me feel a bit less alone in the grander scheme of things. I do agree I need a break, however I am not yet financially stable by myself, and my parents don't support me taking a break- they...

ive made 3/4 of my notes already and everything i've started going through them.
