Sufferer Hi, Thought I'd Introduce Myself

Hi! I just stumbled across this site. I've been struggling with complex PTSD since 2008. I had a severe stalking experience where I was stalked continually by a group of men who had raped me when I was a teenager. I disassociated and didn't remember the incidents or the abuse. When I was 32 it all came back to me, way to fast, and in a big confusing and scary jumble. I found a good therapist and we began working together. Although the trauma isn't as constant I've come to realize it is a condition I have to manage. Avoid alcohol, take a medication, see a therapist regularly, not isolate and be out in the world, understand that triggers will happen- but hopefully lessen over time. It sounds simple here, but it's a lot to keep on top of, and things fall apart often. I'm doing the best I can. Anyway...hello from a snowy and frigid Boston.
 
I love the Boston "A's" not the team (if that's where they're from... not a sports guy) but the pronunciation "A's". Anyways Its great to have you here with us, I as well avoid alcohol and take medication. But I also write and browse forums reading and writing when and where I can. Come in chat anytime.
