Sufferer Hoping to find a sense of community here

[seshprinny]

Hey guys, I'm 30, have been in therapy for 18 months due to childhood abuse/neglect. It's been a really lonely and gruelling few years. I struggle with feeling no sense of community or belonging in my life. I don't have many close friends and don't have much family.

Hoping to fill that need in some way by joining and chatting with you here. Happy New Year, hope you're all having a good day 💛

Hi, welcome! I am a supporter of a combat vet with ptsd, and I myself am dealing with childhood trauma. I hope we both find solace here.

Thank you, I hope so too! It's a rollercoaster of a journey, that's for sure.

Welcome! Not having a sense of community and belonging is a tough one. I think a lot of us here struggle with that to varying degrees, myself included. It’s not fun… but it is a little easier knowing others who wrestle with it, too.

Hi @seshprinny Happy New Year to you and welcome!

I think neglect contributes to that feeling, for abvious reasons. It is hard to counter.

Hope you find both and lots of support, info, and understanding here! 🙂
