Hello

[Rol47]

Hello everyone. I just came across OOTS a few days ago and I am very glad that I did.

Posting on ang kind of forum is new to me...so I hope I'm doing it correctly.
 
Over the past ten years I have been on a slow road to understand and accept who I am. Diagnoses and traits that I have come to understand as describing me include:

Insecurely attached
EUPD /BPD
Codependant
Narccisistic 
Dissociation

Over the past few months I have     learned about cPTSD and I find this a very accurate and helpful way of thinking about my experiences and responses to them.


Engagement with my family of origin has become hugely retraumatising and for the past 2.5 years I have had extremely limited contact with them.  This has been very difficult but is essential for me to stay healthy.

I am looking forward to providing any support that I can to others on the forum, and   being part of a community that understands what it is actually like to live with cPTSD.

Hi and welcome to OOTS Rol47    It is helpful to read through the symptoms and other members' experiences to see yourself and what caused you to develop CPTSD.  I find having a community of peers who get it to be extremely helpful in my recovery. I don't wonder what's wrong with me anyone more, I see instead why I react or feel the way I do based on what I went through.

I hope the forum is helpful for you as well.

Thanks for the steer Kizzie. I think seeing myself in other people's experiences will be very helpful.
