Sufferer Looking to relate to others (parental abuse, neglect)

[JSustaining]

Hello.

This is my first post in this forum.
I sense that I am realizing that I need to interact with someone that can relate to me, and what I have experienced.

I am in my early sixties.
Those who were supposed to be my parents neglected, abused, and traumatized this being since birth, and perhaps prior (in the womb with a war zone environment).

I have been misdiagnosed with depression, and provided with SSRI medication, which almost destroyed this being.
I became aware of cPTSD during 2018, with zero guidance or help from the medical community.

There is much that I can offer about this human experience, the degree to which I am taxed, encumbered, impeded, distorted, and imbalanced, and the issues that are present, every day. 'Tis a major task to maintain, and suppress.

However, I offer this introduction of a sort, and intend to participate with others that I can relate to and with in this forum.

I thank you for the opportunity.

Hello.

I thank you for the welcome.

I am in the process of utilizing a breathing practice, that at this point, after two practice sessions, I can sense a difference in this body.

Please allow me to ask as to what practices or activities that y'all utilize to alleviate symptoms.

I thank you for your consideration.

This is the sort of question that you'd be better off asking by starting a new thread. If you're not sure where it'd best belong, you can always post a new thread in the General sub-forum, and staff will move the post to a more appropriate location if needed.

And if you have any questions on how to use or navigate the forum, you can ask moderators by posting a thread in Contact Us.
