I have complex PTSD due to several things, one of them being sexual assault. I have now started to get to know a man (friend) who also has PTSD due to sexual assault and rape. Therefore I now wonder about the differences. Of course we talk a bit about this, but it is difficult to know if...

I do feel that this question has to do with my bounderies. Maybe I should be cautious...:confused:

Thankyou all for your thoughts:) Stephanie I also feel like you: I don´t trust them. Actually it is hard for me to trust anybody ever, not even my husband, so it is a big step for me. Solara you asked if I could tell them a bit more. Well, maybe what alarms me. I don´t want people to come from...

I got my diagnos two years ago and haven't been working at all for 1,5 years due to that. Next week I am going to make a try. I then have two weeks to decide if it is time to come back. Now to my question. My boss has been asking me to tell her and my co-workers what the problem is. She says...

Thankyou everybody for your respons! I will try to think I am NOT a weak person and maybe I eventually will learn to feel that also. I read about dissociation. It is understandable, but a bit frightening. I will have to remind myself that everything has/had a purpose.

She does say that I have a lot of body memories. It is difficult to understand why they come.

Today I went to my psysical therapist. She helped me to understand that my feeling of not being allowed to live makes my body to get stuck. I sometimes have difficult to move even if I don´t have any psysical problem. I get very tense and I´m not able to move or at least very little. Is this...

Thankyou...
