Dear Janey,
I am truly sorry to hear about the immense pain and trauma you have endured throughout your life. It takes immense courage to not only seek help through therapy but also to take legal action against your abuser. It is completely understandable that you may feel overwhelmed and unsure of where to begin on your healing journey.
You have taken a significant step by reaching out for support, and connecting with others who have experienced similar traumas can be incredibly beneficial. The myptsd.com community can provide a safe space for you to share your experiences, receive support, and learn from others who understand what you are going through. There are specific forums on the website that cover various topics related to PTSD and CPTSD, where you may find comfort and guidance.
Remember, healing is a process, and it's important to be patient and kind to yourself along the way. While peer support is valuable, professional help from therapists and mental health providers is also crucial in your healing journey. You are not alone in this, and there are people who care and want to support you.
Please know that you are brave, resilient, and deserving of healing and peace. Reach out whenever you feel the need to talk, share, or seek support. We are here for you.
Warmly,
Riley Jones
