I Have Complex Ptsd

I hate that cptsd cannot be officially diagnosed yet but soon it should be in the book the shrinks use to diagnose people. My therapist said he couldn't officially diagnose me but when it is available as a diagnosis he will change my...

Around the age of 28 after getting my career and in the midst of raising children, I started to feel like I wanted to bash my head off a wall. I went to my doc and he asked me a few questions, determined that I was depressed and...

Age 5: Developed trichotillomania, have been bullied, felt ugly, no self worth of self esteem.... worthless. traumatizing to experience for 14 years now

I grew up in an abusive and neglectful environment. There was alot of emotional abuse as well. When i was 14 or so i called a crisis line and my parents enevitably took me. In retrospect i think they took me because they were afraid...

I was diagnosed with CPTSD when I was 16 years old after a very turbulent childhood. I witnessed my father attempt to murder my mother on more than one occasion and we went into hiding after running out of the house. My father had also...

I feel somewhat like a poser becausee my ptsd is not from a war or any battle like most cases. My story is of no significance when compared to those who served for our country but I really wanted to see if anyone could relate to me. My...

I relayed this story in the asthma section, but I think I may need to be here...I'm not sure.

I had an asthma attack (the mother of all asthma attacks) on 9/29/10...As for the day it happened, I have only a vague memory of struggling...

There's so much to say but I'd like to find some like minded folks first and foremost.  I want desperately to save this disfunctional marriage but it's pure chaos.  And I'm at my wits end.  While I am getting help from meds, psyc doc...

This is my first posting in any chat room. I have been in therapy for almost 6 months now, and attend one hour long sessions twice a week. I have been diagnosed with Binge Eating Disorder as well as Complex PTSD. Although I truly do...

Sometimes I think I spend more of my time in flashbacks than in actual present life. I find it so hard to stay in the present and I'm always so scared. I no longer believe in safety- it's a nice thought, but it doesn't exist and it...

Since about six weeks I suffer from what is seen as (adult) c-ptsd. I did reach out for professional help but in my country (as elsewhere I guess) it is not so easy to find help or treatment. I seems I am through the period of...

It's been an ongoing on/off nightmare for as long as I've lived, but as of late, my situation has become even worse.
I'm already in the process of foreclosure on my house, with a sale date set for the 8th of April; this is likewise the...

I have Complex PTSD. However, I am hesitant to share my story because I don't want to just obsess over my past. I think it is dangerous indulgent behavior for me. I accept that the things that happened occurred but I worry about...

My story is too long to write. My mother died before I was 18 months old. I never recovered from her loss. I was about to enter the childhood development state of autonomy. What happened after her death is my story. Left with an...

Hi I have cptsd and had my last session in therapy yesterday. My therapist could tell that I wasn't too well and asked if I was taking my meds so I told her I had stopped them 2 wks ago I hate taking meds but now I can see why I need...

It was just a theory that my therapist recently had: that I was suffering from PTSD from a drug that I had taken in October 2012. Believe me, since October, my mind has been going insane with trying to figure out what is the matter with...
