Hey, new here...

Just thought I would try out being on a forum. Not good about talking about things. Have had cptsd my whole life, (abusive parents/siblings). Recently realized my amnesia problem was much more severe than I originally thought. I am missing years....

I have been researching health and wellness for trauma healing for quite a while though, and I feel like these memories coming back are probably a good sign that my brain is healing. But it's tough. A lot of people I thought were my friends have been lying to me for a long time. They pretend that nothing ever happened and gaslight me.

Thought it might be good to join a community of fellow survivors. I'm trying to be a 'thriver', but it takes time. I wish the prefix option had something a little more upbeat that "sufferer". Nothing will make ptsd harder than that toxic victim mentality. Life is what it is, and I just want to be strong enough to roll with the punches and get through it alright.

so... hello!

@Noho Humarie , welcome here. I also do struggle with year long amnesia and f*cked up memories, all coming up recently.

Toxic victim mentality can be a real problem, but I don’t think it’s the problem of most of us here. Like you, we keep trying no matter how many times we fall on our faces. And it helps a lot to see that we aren’t alone, that the struggle is real and that, yup, we’re suffering at some point. But it doesn’t mean we cannot have a good life.

This place has helped me so immensely I can’t even describe it. I really hope you’ll find the information and the help you’re looking for.
