Sufferer Recently Diagnosed With Severe Complex Ptsd

[Butterfly]

Hi. I recently spent 30 days in a trauma treatment center where I found out I have severe complex ptsd from emotional and sexual abuse that began when I was very young. It's a scary diagnosis and I so much want to hear from people who are in the same boat, from people who have success stories to share, etc. I want to learn more about things like dissociation, something I had never even heard of before going to the treatment center. It was there that I began to dissociate and I look forward to reading some of the helpful, informative posts on this site regarding dissociation. I know I'm not alone in having ptsd, but it can sure feel like it at times! I look forward to meeting some of you!

Hi Butterfly;
Glad your in treatment. Welcome.

Hope you aren't alone. If so, like many of us, including me, at least you have this site.

Hi Butterfly,

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome Butterfly. Lots of information about complex trauma here.

It will probably take a while to absorb it all (I'm still not sure about dissociation :eek:) But lots of friends to be made and help given here.

Good luck with your journey :tup:
