Sufferer Hi. Im Jaybee.

[LittleJaybeeWithPTSD]

Hello everyone. Im Jaybee. I made my profile on Sunday but haven't posted until now. I'm 21 years old and have CPTSD from my childhood. As for what I am comfortable sharing at this point, my abuse started when I was an infant. I have been raped 27 times and molested 17. I was abused to near death on multiple occasions with various objects including hands, crowbars, bats, and the butt end of a gun. I managed to survive being in a blown up car by being thrown out the window of said car wrapped in a blanket and landing on grass with minor injuries. And I saw my friend get shot in a drive by right in front of me when I was 3 1/2. I didn't get hit, but she did. RIP Sarah. Anyway. That is what I am comfortable sharing at the moment. This thread is a trigger warning as stated before and I sincerely apologize if I triggered anyone. Anyway, I'm here to talk and for self help like many of you guys may be. Thank you.

Welcome to the forum, I'm glad you've found your way here though not glad that you've had reason to. We don't use trigger warnings on the site, so please post what you need to and don't worry about triggering others. We're each responsible for ourselves and how we react to what members post.

I hope you find support here.

Thank you. I edited them out again after realizing I shouldn't have posted them. It was a total accident. My apologies. Anyway. Thank you for welcoming me.

There's no need to apologise, you're new here, it can take some time to find your way around - and its part of my job to help you learn the ropes. It's all good :tup:

Welcome to the forum. :hug:

As already mentioned, no worries about trigger labels. It's understood that much of the content on the site is potentially triggering so it's left up to the individual reading to know when to stop reading if content is too overwhelming. I unexpectedly got triggered last night------by something that I read that I didn't even know was bothersome to me. It wasn't even something that would trigger most people. It's a good system as it teaches us to recognize our triggers and manage them accordingly.
