Hello

[Purplesjs77]

So glad I found this forum. I've really been struggling. Just within the last month I left a toxic relationship and moved. I'm trying to get a new primary care provider, new therapist set up. Takes time. I have previously been diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety, depression and bipolar 2 at one time. My last therapist didn't think I suffered from bipolar. Anyway, I've been researching cptsd and definitely feel that I fall into this category. With all the sexual abuse and others things I dealt with in my childhood... Just a lot of trauma. I'm glad to have found this forum.

Hi Purplesjs77, I am glad you are here.  Making that first post can be so challenging, so give yourself a big pat on the back for taking a courageous first step here.

You are dealing with quite a lot of change in your life.  I hope you will take loving care of yourself as you settle in to your new circumstances.  We are here to remind you that you do indeed deserve loving care.        All the best to you.

Hi and welcome to OOTS Purple   You definitely don't need an official diagnosis to be a member here.  Many of us just know the minute we read about CPTSD that it's what we're dealing with. 

Such a relief in one way (finally  knowing what's going on and that we're not crazy), and hard on the other (we have a journey to recovery ahead of us).

Glad you found your way here  and hopefully you'll find some helpful information and support
