Introducing Myself

[unfinisheds24]

Hey everyone - this is my first post on the forum. I'm a survivor and someone who was diagnosed with C-PTSD recently. I experience symptoms every day and was also diagnosed with OCD which complicates matters sometimes. I wanted to join this forum especially due to the fact I struggle a lot with isolation and loneliness. I am doing my PhD overseas and miss home very much. I hope to make connections with as many people as possible Hope my fellow survivors out there are doing ok today

Hi, Unfinisheds24  . Sorry for the circumstances which led to your current reluctant acceptance that something feels off; on the other hand it's encouraging that by your presence here, you're also determined to make your life work for you  .

May your jouneying here help create and enhance moving beyond a big step out of the 'old' you. The big step? Joining this forum, willing to venture as far away from the troubled past as you can in order to see better prospects ahead.

Thanks so much woodsgnome. Life is such a weird thing right now. I have to push forward but at the same time I know that I need time to fully be able to process my past especially with my parents who I have detached attachment issues with. As I begin to embrace the new me which has certain childlike qualities I repressed, I also feel great fear to push forward. But the strength that you all show in this forum gives me the strength to keep pushing.

I feel exactly the same way!

Hi Unfinished24

Welcome to the forum. I'm sorry that you're struggling with C-PTSD and OCD, but I'm glad you found this forum and are gaining an understanding of trauma and how it affects you. The best part of this forum, for me, is that I'm accepted for who I am here, and I don't have to explain why I can't "just let it go and move on." Lord knows, if that were possible, I'd do it. And here, I don't have to explain myself. We all get it.

I'm glad you joined. Isolating is something a great number of us on this forum struggle with. So, here, we can all isolate together. (lol).

Hello and a very warm welcome unfinisheds24     Feeling isolated is a really common feeling for those of us with Complex PTSD so you are in goo company (which is a bit ironic  ).  I hope being here helps you to feel less alone and lonely
