[Taz]

Hi I'm new and I'm not doing great at finding my way around so if this is in the wrong place I apologise
I'm 58 and from the UK I finally asked for help 2 years ago after struggling for 46 years I am diagnosed with c-PTSD and treatment resistive depression
I'm struggling with meds and therapy and just looking to talk with people who understand and perhaps convince me that things can get better

Hi @Taz and welcome!!! I am 59 and have c-PTSD. I also have Major Depression, (it once measured off of the charts because my score was so high).

They tell me that my traumas were severe and prolonged. At one point the stress began to shut my body down because it was so intense, however I am doing so much better now.

I have found that counseling and journaling have helped me tremendously. I cannot express just how much this site's members have helped me. There are a lot of intelligent, compassionate, and supportive people here as well as a lot of accurate information on trauma and PTSD.

Hang in there, it can get much, much better.
