Sufferer New here - CPSTD but at age 57 I'm finally well enough to want to give you hope.

2+ years of weekly EMDR and DBR, meds, and taking a year off from work, and other things too - but I can't even describe the difference from where I was 3 years ago and where I am now. I finally grabbed on to all of the things that helped, large and small. Don't give up hope!
