I just joined this forum and read some of the heart warming stories of other peoples struggles ....i don't feel so alone in my own struggle as I am sort of living and an almost permanant flashback that started many years ago. I know I'm a good person with good principles I try to live by but I struggle socially to keep up with the banter of social interaction. It all comes at me all at once , too much at times. I find that I am slow to respond ...part of cptsd and brain development I think. My main issue was a mother who was neglectful and emmotionally abandoned me from an early age lus I did lots of rebirthing and found similar systematic abondonment at birth.
