I have only recently been diagnosed with C-PTSD although I realise I've had it for years based on a long history of trauma starting with family abuse at the age of 7, episodes of abuse at school and then a marriage of 20 years to a psychopath in which I was stopped having any interests, deprived of friends and lived in fear. I finally got away but a bitter and punitive divorce and then the traumatic death of my sister from lung cancer triggered full blown C-PTSD in my life with nightmares, flashbacks, raw fear of the world and people, and a constant state of anxiety. I am just about to have EMDR treatment after several months of my therapist trying to get me into the right place to do it, and I am doing yoga to keep calm, but am still dipping in and out of awful states of mind. I hope being part of this forum will help me and I can be of help to others.
