Sufferer Hi, Joined Earlier But Never Posted...

C-PTSD sufferer for most of my life. Childhood, workplace bullying, neglect. I never spoke about it until recently. My quality of life has been deteriorating...

My son has also been bullied most of his life. He has trouble eating, sleeping, & trusting anyone. Do you have similar problems?

Welcome!

Welcome both...glad you joined and made your first post.

Spend some time getting to know the site and perhaps think about starting a trauma diary when you are ready. It will help you with your thoughts and you will have somthing wonderful to read back on as you heal.
There is lots of advice and stuff on here too.

Everyone here on the forum is amazingly supportive so do not leave just yet.

Wishing you well

Welcome to the forum. :)

I am sorry you are having trouble. Are you getting help from a professional? That would be a good step towards healing if you are not seeing one already.

Take your time and get comfortable. There are some very supportive people here.

Take care.

Hi and welcome to the forum:) I am sorry for what brought you here, but this is a really safe and supporting place to be. I hope you will find your way around. Lots of good and useful information. It is nice to meet you.

Many of us have spent years denying what happened to us - turning the other cheek. But eventually our trauma and hurt come at us full force. Know that you are in a safe place. Somewhere there are people that understand and will support you. Feel free to vent, question, ponder, discover and embrace who you are. Welcome!

Thank you hopeful mom. The most crucial thing is SUPPORT and letting him talk about what happened. I know this because I never had support.

I kept it all inside for decades and the damage has been irreparable. I know of many victims who in their 40's, 50's, 60's,70's and even 80's who still suffer.

Congratulations for knowing what happened and for caring. You are a crucial component of the healing process!

Thank you gizmo... Just having kind comments is helpful. I am lonely and isolated. People don't really know me and I have rarely felt safe enough to talk about all the things that happened. I guess PTSD is like that. You can spend your life keeping it all in then you wonder if you will be supported, let alone believed.

Thank you Bubba... I am desperate... My life is getting worse and I was so ignored amd still feel ignored. Please, I need to know that others have experienced this because the isolation is deafening. I am a nice person but I feel like I have been cursed. i just need to have some validation and someone that cares enough. I have been so strong and have had to take care of other people when I was far too young. I never had a choice; my mother did not even want me to leave home, etc, etc. I am so gired of this.....
