Sufferer Hi I'm New.

[Deleted member 29899]

Hi I'm new here. Suffering from C-PTSD, many many different traumas over the course of a lifetime and really struggling to stay afloat. I saw a couple posts that I've never seen elsewhere, such as 'being afraid to go to sleep' (which I'm trying to find again so I can read it!) as well as SI, and I knew I had to sign up. The SI is a big one for me and worrisome.
I hope I can learn something here.

Welcome :)

There are losts of threads about SI if you would like to search for them.

FYI, there are two definitions used around here for SI. One is self injury, and the other is suicidal ideation. Just letting you know in case you've assumed only one definition and some threads don't quite make sense.

Hi @imok and welcome. I relate to a long string of abuse and many forms of self injury as well (have not self-injured for several months, so it can get better I believe). Are you in therapy?

Hope you find helpful info and support here.

Thanks for all the nice welcomes.
Chava I meant suicide ideation.
No, I ran out of money a couple months ago and can no longer see my (really good) therapist who rally seemed to know PTSD. I cannot start over with someone new because I know the re-telling of allll the trauma for months to someone new would push me ove the edge or push me into the hospital and I can't have a huge set back like that again.
So I'm on my own at home, unable to work b/c of C-PTSD, suffering from sleep deprivation, just trying to survive and not s.

I just started with a new therapist. It was really hard to tell the basics all over again. And that was just the intake.

Welcome to the forum!

Hey what does it mean when someone tags you in a post?

 

[Intrepid]

@imok I just tagged you!

I can also quote you:

So how do you tag someone intrepid. You didn't explain what it was either.... I'm starting to think it's when someone else mentions someone in a post.
