Hello All

[Byron]

Hello all, 

I was diagnosed with "PTSD-like" symptoms or "aspects of PTSD" about 10 years ago.  I don't think CPTSD was a thing then.  I self-diagnosed CPTSD a few years ago based on You Tube videos.

I probably got it from a violent alcoholic father.  I also had health problems which made me a pariah at school.

Currently on meds but not in therapy.  I attend support meetings for people with anxiety/depression, but not specifically CPTSD.

Unable to do relationships, and have difficulty keeping a good job.

I found this board after some damaging episodes with anger.

I thought I'd see if this board was a good resource.

  Hi, Byron ...

OOTS has oodles of resources. In that way, it's very real; lots of pointers about the who/what/why of CPTSD, plus caring people whose reflections are posted in the forum. Welcome ... hope you can plug in and benefit as well.

Hi and a warm welcome Byron!    It sounds like you are in the right place to get some support, information and have a safe place to talk about your past and what exactly led to your CPTSD.
