[In_the_flesh]

Tryingtothrive: I am soo much in support of you. I read this post a few weeks ago and found it deeply touching and engaging since we have similar struggles. I have just gotten the courage 'to say' to write on myptsd, if you want to read: https://www.myptsd.com/threads/sufferering-after-childhood-and-early-adult-abuse.37163/#post-600874. Thank you.

I find your story very inspirational and would enjoy the opportunity share experiences further. I am right in the middle of this and am also looking for a helping hand..that is all. best regards.

 

[Only 1 of me]

Welcome TTT, I know there are many of us who can relate. I hid my abuse even from myself for many years with dissociation. Kept up appearances, like a duck paddling and struggling furiously underwater while looking like all was well above. I built list upon list of achievements trying to mask my self hatred and cover my shame so that others would not see the real me. Since getting diagnosed with c-ptsd and getting specific treatment for that about 12months ago things are changing pretty radically for the better. It's a long hard road, but the climb is worth it from the view from the top.
