Sufferer cPTSD and looking for friends

[rockboingtoad]

Hello everyone, I am struggling with cPTSD and hoping to find folks who understand. I was originally diagnosed after escaping a toxic home environment, but have had some pretty severe flare ups and set backs after getting stuck in a toxic work environment. If anyone gets it, I'd be happy to say hello. Maybe we can play video games and talk about the things we like :) so life isn't so hard for a moment.

Welcome, I get how work can cause an increase in symptoms. Any amount of negative stress can send me over the edge in a split second but it's something that can't be avoided.

Welcome to the forum!

The Social Chitchat forum is a good space to decompress from the world with folks who get what you’re dealing with:)

I relate completely. I actually loved working but the flair ups make it so much harder than it should be

Welcome to the form! I understand, currently in a episode from work stress. It is rough, but people here understand.
