Have only JUST been diagnosed with severe complex PTSD after years of being labelled as anxious and depressed.
Traumatized from birth:
-- neglect causing failure to thrive and multiple serious injuries
as infant and child
-- psychological and physical abuse, mainly by Mother, Father
to a lesser degree, and by siblings
-- several years of 'rape'/incest by older brother, starting at
the age of 10
--PTSD-related behaviours misunderstood by others, leading to
innumerable problems relating to 'normal' people in society
--seem to repeatedly attract chaos
--have dealt with this problem by becoming a 'workaholic' and
perfectionist
--when off work - tend to ruminate, suffer flashbacks and
appear antisocial/a loner
