Sufferer Hi I'm A New

[Dommdy]

I would like to let y'all know that the generational cycle of abuse in my family (on both sides) was broken in my generation with my kids. Somehow God enabled me to marry a good man and we are good parents. Our children were not abused. My son is a major in the Kansas National Guard, a helicopter pilot, my daughter is the #1 wealth management Vice President of SunTrust. My youngest had epilepsy and now struggles with mental illness due to brain surgery but they are all healthy.

Hi Everyone,

I have developed complex ptsd due to repetitive domestic violence and emotional/verbal abuse that started when I was three years old.

I can't afford to see a private counsellor so I have been reading books and also trying mindfulness. :)

Hello and welcome I hope you find this place as comforting as I do. You should be able to get some therapy through the go. This is not easy to access trust me it's a battle but it is there. My friends have helped me access it. I hope you find the help you need to improve.

Thank you for your message @Leah Morgan :inlove:
I was on the waiting list for some months then gave up. I was so annoyed by the dr's referral letter because a lot of key information were misinterpreted. I attended several meetings for assessment etc at the mental health services but their lack of internal communications really let me down. I was made to repeat the same thing over and over to different people, which made me feel even worse.
Reading books has been helping me to understand my flashbacks, symptoms etc. :happy: In terms of treatment, I don't know what works best for me but hope I can access it one day.
