Hi everyone, my name is Maxx.
My CPTSD is coming from childhood but also from experiences throughout young adulthood and adulthood.
I grew up in a situation where my parents have been quite toxic for each other. Early divorce. My father was emotionally very explosive and scaring, my sister was a borderliner and narcissistic, my mom was overwhelmed, yelling and just as scary as my dad. When I moved out I hoped to het out of it but endet up at a jobtraining where I was bullied and had an abusive relationship. And so it went on and on. I'm  bipolar and have the CPTSD diagnose for wich I am in therapy. Still I keep on struggling and I hope to finde some insight and friendly people to exchange with here.
Greetings t you all.

Hi Maxx and a warm welcome to OOTS    My parents were quite scary too, a lot of anger and tension in the house which made me try to be as good a kid as I could be. Of course that didn't make things better but I kept on trying right into adulthood.  I'm sorry you ended up in a job situation where you were bullied, they are everywhere sadly although not everyone is that way as my poor nervous system wants me to believe.

I hope being here helps you as it has me. Folks here are respectful and caring, no bullies thankfully so it's a pretty safe space.
