New Here
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!
