First of all, welcome to the forum!

If this is your real name, I'd suggest changing it - this can be done by going into your profile and changing what name is displayed to others when you post.
Yes, this most certainly can be beaten! Since the damage has been done
to us, it can be undone
by us.
Some of us have benefited tremendously from having an effective therapist. Medication is also an option, although it doesn't fix anything but at least can be helpful while we are trying to find solutions that work for us.
Take a look at the book section we have (
http://outofthefog.net/C-PTSD/Books.html). Two that I've read and found very helpful are "The Body Keeps The Score", and Pete Walker's "CPTSD: From Surviving To Thriving". Walker also has a website with a lot of helpful info (
http://pete-walker.com). Both books are full of information about how to combat the most bothersome symptoms of CPTSD.
Some holistic approaches are yoga, acupressure, and meditation. These are just a few that some of us have found helpful; I'm sure others will comment on what they've found to be most beneficial.
There is also a channel on YouTube by Richard Gannon, who also goes by "The Spartan Life Coach". His videos vary in length and are always helpful, amusing, and full of really great insight and validation.
Check back with us and let us know how you're doing! We really do care about each other here.
