Sufferer Hey everyone. cptsd & disassociation.

[Mr. M]

My name's Ian and I suffer PTSD from complex trauma also called CPTSD. I wrote a pretty extensive partial biography about how things came to be on my profile page. I really need some peer support from people who understand because I do not have a support system in my life right now. I need to find some peer support near where I live as well but I found this site and had a lot of hope for a compassionate connection with strong survivors that can empathize with me. I am so glad to be here. Please read my story and introduce yourself. I could really use some support from good people. Thank you.

Welcome to the forum, Ian.

I'm positive you'll find great company here as I did. ...I read in your profile and you're really brave and strong to share this information.

Also congratulations on being sober - that's a great success, you already do some important work.

I know the problem of being too empathic for one's surroundings, so I can relate on that problem pretty well. :hug:

Welcome to the forum! Sorry you have to be here but glad you found us. I don't know where you live but I hope you have better luck finding peer support where you live than I did. I looked and there was none in my area or the surrounding areas. :( That's when I went online and found this place. ;) :tup: It has been a God send for me. God luck in your road to recovery! :hug:
