Hi everyone. I found this group by doing searches on PTSD. I've never heard of C-PTSD till now, and I believe that I fit the description. I am a survivor of abuse -- mental, physical and emotional. Numerous traumatic events happened over extended periods of time during childhood, teenage years and adulthood. I am now in a healthy situation, however I continue to easily be upset by triggers. I am more aware of PTSD now and can more quickly identify it when it's happening, but having awareness does not lessen the very uncomfortable feelings (which are overwhelmingly dark at the time and seem like they will swallow me up and never leave).
Since this is my first time here, I look forward to familiarizing myself with this support forum and meeting other travelers on the road of healing. Thank you for having this site.
