I've only posted an introduction on psychcentral and decided it was about time I posted some more instead of reading and wishing I had the guts to post as well!

So, I was diagnosed with complex PTSD in April this year after having a complete breakdown. I spent 4 months in a psychiatric hospital and it's not even a month since I was discharged. I'm really not coping well though.

So, it's pretty unusual but my psychiatrist is also my therapist. He's great and I feel lucky to have him as my doctor and therapist. Been in therapy for five months now and I just feel I'm not making any progress. I'm so resistant it's ridiculous, but I don't feel like I have any control over it.

I want to withdraw from the "support system" around me, including my T, but I know if I do that, they're likely to detain me again, under the mental health act. I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place.

I don't even know what the point is in posting this but thought I'd reach out to some who might understand.

How do you carry on when everything within you is telling you not to?
