Finally after over a year of assessment and diagnostic processes I officially have a diagnosis of C-PTSD/Complex trauma disorder from the psychiatrist. I was pleased that she was able to determine this herself and not feel bound by the currently limited DSM/ICD categories. I was also very worried she would end up either saying there's nothing wrong with me and I just need to pull myself together or that I had a personality disorder ('Emotionally Unstable' probably) - the latter would have been the easier but more simplistic option but she believes the existing diagnostic categories need challenging which is great (so do I).
