Hi, Ali,

pleased to meet you on this  forum! 

I am very sorry that you've had such a tough time of it lately and I am glad you're fighting your way back to feeling better. 

Have you checked out Pete Walker's site on CPTSD yet? http://www.pete-walker.com/

Best wishes and hope to see more of your posts here!

Hello Ali - I'm a pretty recent member here but would like to welcome you to what I have found a lovely, non judgemental and genuinely helpful place. Look forward to getting to know you better

Hi Ali and welcome to OOTS 

How wonderful to hear that you are feeling better day by day. Just posting here is a big step so bravo to you    

One thing you may want to do is read through the various threads a little at a time as there's a lot to digest and it can be overwhelming.   As Keep Fighting mentioned, Pete Walker's site is also a good site to visit when you are ready.  He has CPTSD and is a therapist so he writes from both perspectives. For many of us, he "gets it" - what CPTSD is like from the inside.

When you have a moment please read through the Member Guidelines in this forum and then when you feel ready perhaps you can tell us a little more about your situation. As Flook mentioned, members are warm, welcoming and encouraging so although it can feel intimidating please know that this is a safe haven. 

Looking forward to hearing more about you
