Sufferer Hi, i have ptsd resulting from abduction and severe sexual trauma

[Hilario]

Hi, just joined.
I suffer from ptsd resulting from abduction and severe sexual trauma when I was 13. 25 years ago. 15 years of therapy, ongoing. More than that of meds. Psychiatrist has me on a ketamine assisted therapy thing. Sublingual losenges at home, and intramuscular injections in office. This new thing has been a wild ride, but seems to be lessening the depression. Still having nightmares, flashbacks, and panic attacks, but I'm learning skills to deal.

Anyway, that's me.

According to my doctors, it's actually CPTSD though the DSM doesn't recognize it. Multiple childhood traumas, mostly of the sexual kind. These I usually avoid talking about in therapy.

I am sorry for your trauma, I have PTSD. I have found a few things that help. Accupuncture is great, meditation & yoga. A hot bath relaxes me a little. I have found comfort in a lot of small things, instead of just taking meds. I do take meds, but I have to be mindful of things that trigger me. I don't watch violence on TV, or hang around bad people. I hope you receive the support that you deserve.
