Sufferer hii, fresh PTSD diagnosis

[Mapenzi]

hi guys! im a 20yr old ciswoman (she/her). i recently got diagnosed with ptsd and as the days go on, it's become harder and harder to feel like i'll ever be able to form connections again. that's why i decided to join this forum. i have severe ocd and depression. i've suffered from suicidal ideation since i was 8. been struggling with dissociation and remembering my past due to repression. i suffer from racial trauma (partially grew up in an extremely xenophobic country) and trauma from sexual harrassment and isolation in my queer identity, too. after my second suicide attempt this summer, i stayed with family who unfortunately left me feeling isolated and belittled my struggles. hoping to feel less alone in this and nice to meet yall :)
