Sufferer Survivor of childhood stuff

[nekograssman]

Hi everyone. It's wild to see a messageboard - it's a blast from the past. In mostly a good way, lol.

I signed up for this forum because my cPTSD just constantly gets in the way.

Here's a small primer: f*cked up religious school (fundamentalist Christian) complete with the f*cked up teacher who spent 8+ hours per school day with us (also weekends etc), f*cked up Christian camp complete with being locked in a room for a week, f*cked up relationships...

Having seen and gone through so much, life tends to be up and down.

I have lots of symptoms, like waking up drenched in so much sweat it's like I just took a shower & the sheets/pillows are thrown everywhere. Sometimes when someone asks me about something that happened last week, I get confused and I answer with something that happened 20 years ago. That kind of thing.

I have other mental health diagnoses. But I feel those are under control because of my medication and therapy. So, right now, my PTSD is the thing that bothers me the most. So I joined this forum. Hi everyone.

Hi there! Welcome. :)
"Stuff" is a nice way to put it...

My mom was also in a religious boarding school and it was hellish for her. Was yours a boarding school?
I had some bad teachers too. One had a ring with a spike on it and she would hit us with it. Still have a dot on my hand.

Hope you find what you're looking for here. There's plenty of support :)

Welcome to this old fashioned message board :D :P

I’m glad you’re in therapy and getting support like that. These forums sped up my recovery by getting me to talk about my traumas, and I’m happy you'll have that opportunity too :)
