Hi, everyone!
I've received a CPTSD diagnosis recently after seeking out therapy. I'm 28 years old and experienced a lot of emotional abuse and neglect growing up. Now as I am growing in self-confidence and becoming more outspoken and honest due to therapy, I find myself losing friends who were only attracted to me because of my codependency and vulnerability. I also seem to be making people uncomfortable as I want to talk about my feelings a lot after keeping them in so long, but at this point I have so few people left in my life and even fewer who know what to say.
My boyfriend and I have been together a long time. We are buying a house together & to my knowledge, he is shopping for an engagement ring. Unfortunately I've been very nervous about these life changes at a time when I am in recovery because he seems to be showing signs of burnout since he is the only person I can rely on. I don't want to hurt him so I came to this forum so I could have another outlet besides him.
I look forward to talking to everyone!
