Hey there everyone!

My name is Kalipri, I'm 26 years old and ended up finding this website in a desperate attempt to find others who I can talk to about things regarding PTSD and depression.

A little bit about myself and my past.

Many many years ago, between the age of 6 and 16, my 1 and a half year old brother sexually abused and manipulated me on and off and noone ever knew about it. When I was 23 yo all of these memories that I seem to have lost suddenly came back to me and I realised alot of wrong things have happened to me and damaged me.

Also from 2020 to 2025 I was in a log distance relationship with someone from the US who I repeatedly visited and who throughout the whole relationship abused my good will to be a good partner, to take advantage of me mentally and financially, leaving me in a huge hole of debt while they just left, not feeling any responsibility to make good on anything.

I have a history of being taken advantage of and want to just stop having this ruin my life. I want to get stronger and realize rather earlier than later, that someone doesnt have good intentions with me.

In May of this year, I tried to get myself diagnosed for ADHD, because I have a heap of symptoms that could be explained by that diagnosis, and perhaps even treated with medication. To my "surprise" it was sadly inconclusive, since alot of the symptoms and behaviours could also be explained by PTSD and depression, with which I ultimately got diagnosed with.

As of about 2 weeks ago I started going to group therapy, which for some reason doesnt have a focus on either of my diagnosis, but its the only things my insurance would fully cover so...it's the best I've got for now.

But yeah...this is where I am at the moment.

All in all, I am glad to be here and look forward to talking and exchanging with some of ya and see if there is any progress I can make in my recovery.

Read ya soon!
