Sufferer Just Wanted To Introduce Myself. Hello.

[CeCee]

Hello I'm CeCee from Sydney Australia. I was diognosed with Complex PTSD a few years ago but I have been struggling most of my life.

After seeing a few different therapist over the years & trying out different types of treatments, I haven't found anything that fits.

Thankfully I have found an inpatient program that I hope to start in 2 months time (health insurance has a wait period) I am complelty prepared for what's to come but I am also extremly nervous about what might come out.

Iv gotten to the stage where I am remembering even more details of the 5+ years of child sexual & mental abuse so it scares the hell out of me knowing that there are many more memories hidden away.

Iv gotten to the stage lately where I'm not leaving the house alone, my anxiety is through the roof & I'm in a very complicated relationship with sleep so I'm not good at all. The worst iv been in a very long time.

I really hope that doing this program will give me the tools to get back to some sort of normality. I miss having fun & enjoying myself. I haven't been able to in a very long time.

If you have done a Inpatient program, would you reccomed it? Did you learn the tools that you needed to make the changes for a easier life?

Thanks
CeCee Xx

@CeCee Welcome to the forum!

Each person has to find what works for them as they work toward recovery. Trauma can be processed inpatient or outpatient and tools can be acquired by learning them from therapy, books, groups, but the important thing is to find what works for you.

I hope you find the information and support here beneficial.

Hi @CeCee and welcome to the forum.
I hope you find the new therapy helpful. Have they given you a time frame as to how long you will need to be an inpatient? I am sure that you will feel a lot better when you come out the other side and have clearly done a lot of preparation for this.
