Hi avlady
I basically self-diagnosed myself since as someone said it isn't on the DSM. I read a lot of stuff about it and realised that I do have multiple traumas caused by multiple abusers. PTSD alone is based on one serious traumatic event.
C-PTSD goes further because is a lot more painful and upsetting for the individual I believe due to the multiple traumatic events.
