New here. dealing with a lot

[merbear]

I have been getting off of ativan. I am also dealing with a recent traumatic event(s)  that has triggered trauma from my past.     My doctor thinks that my symptoms are a combination of withdrawal and the CPTSD. Ifeel like my life is imploding. My main symptoms are chronic migraine, derealization, depression and OCD. It has been hard for me to even watch TV as I am constantly triggered. I am in acute crisis. I hope I can learn more about CPTSD here and see how others are coping and healing. Thanks .

Thanks for joining! We look forward to hearing more from you.
